Unfortunately this issue has reared it’s head again.

Behind a paywall but basically says that the ban on gambling advertising between the hours of 5:30a.m. and 9p.m. will become law around 8th October next. Technically, RTV and SSR in their current forms would have to come off air in Ireland shortly after that date.
