Sinn Fein has launched a new plan, which looks to tackle the issue of problem gambling in Ireland.

It's an issue the party says affects approximately 55,000 people in the country.

As part of the plan, gambling advertisements would be banned from TV and radio between 6am and 9pm.

While a similar ban should be extended across all online platforms.

The party has also demanded the immediate creation of an Independent Gambling Regulator.
