Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

12:20 pm

Mr. John McGuire:

It is. All charity lotteries in Ireland are subject to the conditions and regulations set under the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956 which, as I am sure committee members will appreciate, is very outdated. The national lottery is covered by separate legislation. There is no cap and the legislation allows it to give out whatever prizes it wants.
