    No-one watched it.

    Except me, just now.
    Amendment 2 to the original motion of forming a comittee to oppose this coming act, which was to 'make it uneconomic to run casino's in Dublin City' was rejected.
    A lot of sense was spoken in this meeting about social fabric and the like. However, the meeting was devoid of any comment on free will (typical of politics I thought).
    Many relevant comments were made in relation to young and vulnerable people. These people just have to be protected.

    Please god, may no harm come to any individual through the coming legalisation of casino's and the like.

    I watched it on the night you posted it. Thanks.

    Feels like a which hunt imo.
    I can understand the 1 armed bandit type machines being banned but casinos in Ireland don't have them.
    They only have roulette and blackjack. Both odds games that are only slightly in the casinos favor. For the most part casinos are card clubs. They are not Vegas style mega money printing businesses.
    I think you would find that most of them are struggling financially as it is. And any who are doing ok have staff/owners that work damn hard to make a wage. I know I wouldn't work those hours.
