Text

I argue that both parties are playing a high-stakes game here, and there are obvious risks associated with that. Successive Sinn Féin and DUP Ministers have done nothing about introducing gambling legislation. That impacts on the ability of those of us in the North to enter RTÉ competitions, which is very frustrating. I watch 'The Late Late Show' on Friday nights, but I cannot enter the competitions. Minister, have you had any engagement on the potential for an all-island gambling strategy?
