Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

1:40 pm

Mr. John McGuire:

No, because our promise to the public is that they are not making a donation but buying a lottery ticket, a chance to win. If somebody wants to give a euro to Rehab, we have our collection box on the counter into which they can put it. In that case, we get the full €1. It is not the same with the scratch card when one spends a euro. It is a chance to win a prize.
