On Friday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Kevin Hogan, Addiction Counsellor at Helplink Mental Health CLG to discuss a new ESRI report on Ireland's gambling problem. A new study has found Ireland has a worse problem with gambling than previously thought, with over 400 thousand people showing some evidence of a gambling problem. The report from the ESRI also found that problem gamblers spend more than one thousand euro a month feeding their addiction. Picture (c) by Getty Images via Canva
