I have two points for Mr. Hickson. If any of us contact the Revenue Commissioners there is information readily available about the profit margins. In his submission he said he represents the regulated part of the sector. Can he expand on the margins available and earned? He pointed out in paragraph 4 of his submission that there are up to 20,000 unlicensed venues operating. Can he expand on that? That is a staggering number of unlicensed venues. Why are they unlicensed? Why are they not being monitored and policed? Can the Paddy Power representatives comment on the concern that in virtual racing there is a predetermined outcome? Who has access to that?
