Letters to the Editor: Why are betting ads worse than booze ones?

Is gambling a worse addiction in Ireland than alcohol — and how are our children affected?

Firstly, for the record, I take a drink and I like a flutter on the gee gees.

While I 100% agree with Senator Mark Wall’s highlighting and acting on the need to protect our children and more vulnerable members of society from the many vices of this world Gambling ads should be banned — Labour ( Irish Examiner, online, February 17) I also feel aggrieved in his view gambling ads are a priority for him and the #BeatTheAds campaign.
