- 3.3% of the adult population in Ireland, or 130,000 people, are people with problem gambling.
- An additional 7.1% of the adult population, or 279,000 people, show moderate evidence of problem gambling.
- People with problem gambling, on average, spend more than €1,000 per month on gambling, accounting for 28 per cent of total spending on gambling.
- Gambling Regulation Bill 2022 will provide a framework and legislative basis for a robust regulatory and licensing regime to regulate all forms of gambling.
- The Gambling Regulation Bill 2022, is, at its core, a public health measure aimed at protecting citizens from gambling harm, including younger people and those more vulnerable in our communities.
The publication today of research on problem gambling, gambling behaviours and perceptions of gambling in Ireland, was carried out by the Economic and Social Research Institute’s Behavioural Research Unit.
The study was commissioned through the Implementation Team supporting the establishment of a new independent statutory body called Údarás Rialála Cearrbhachais na hÉireann, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland.
The review records that 3.3% of the adult population in Ireland, or 130,000 people, are people with problem gambling, a figure that is ten times higher than previous estimates.
Furthermore, the research finds that an additional 7.1% of the adult population, or 279,000 people, show moderate evidence of problem gambling and a further 15%, or 590,000 people, who report at least some problematic experiences or behaviours in relation to gambling.
It should be noted, the researchers point out that their study is more likely to have underestimated the prevalence of problem gambling than have overestimated it.
The research also finds that people with problem gambling, on average, spend more than €1,000 per month on gambling, accounting for 28 per cent of total spending on gambling.
The research concludes that nearly half of the gambling industry’s revenue in Ireland is generated from people experiencing multiple negative effects from gambling.
The ESRI’s research also found that:
- While problem gambling is more common among adults aged under 50 (and highest in the 30-39 year age group), men and those with lower educational attainment, it is widespread, with 2.9% of women and 2.6% of people educated to degree level estimated to have problem gambling.
- two-thirds of people with problem gambling stated their wish to gamble less, indicating problems with self-control.
- the public, holding a generally negative attitude to gambling, believes that the availability of opportunities to gamble and exposure to gambling advertising are the main causes of problem gambling.
The HSE and Tipperary University Hospital have apologised to a five-year-old boy, and his mother Ms Agita Gintale, both from Cahir, Co Tipperary, for the upset and trauma they both experienced over the time of his birth, on November 8th/9th 2017 last.
The letter of apology was read out in the High Court, as Master Shay Crowe settled his action, taken through his mother, following a €300,000 interim payment granted for the next five years.
The boy’s counsel, Mr Patrick Treacy SC, instructed by Mr Cian O’Carroll solicitors, informed the court that certain admissions had been already admitted by the HSE regarding this case, including a breach of duty, which related to a 29-minute delay in the delivery of the baby by caesarean section. Same it was claimed resulted in baby Shay being delivered limp, lifeless and with no heart rate, thus requiring resuscitation. It was further confirmed that standard neonatal resuscitation programme guidelines were not strictly followed at the Tipperary hospital, despite a timely resuscitation having being achieved without adverse consequences.
In the letter of apology read to the court, the HSE and Tipperary University Hospital, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, apologised to Shay and his mother for “the upset and trauma experienced during the care, treatment and management received by you both at Tipperary University Hospital, from presentation on November 8th, 2017, to include the episode of transfer to Cork University Maternity Hospital. Tipperary University Hospital and the HSE acknowledge that this was traumatic for both of you and his family.”
The case will again return to court in 2029, when general damages and Shay’s future care needs will be once more assessed.
Allergen: Milk
Product Identification: Flora Buttery.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland [FSAI] have warned, this afternoon, that some packs of Flora Buttery may contain milk, same which has not been correctly declared on ‘Tesco‘ and ‘Supervalu‘ retailer websites.
The online platforms also contain declarations that the product is “Dairy-free”.
This may make the stated product unsafe for consumers, latter who may be allergic to or intolerant of milk.
The product packaging correctly highlights milk as an allergen (Buttermilk) in the list of its ingredients if it is present, and therefore consumers with an allergy to, or intolerance of milk, who have purchased this product online from Tesco or Supervalu, should check the ingredient declaration on the product packaging before attempting to consume this product.
