I welcome the witnesses here today. We are pleased to have an opportunity to discuss these issues in respect of the national lottery. It is probably the first time that this committee or anybody in the Oireachtas has ever felt the need for such a meeting. The witnesses have outlined the reasons why such a meeting is necessary and we independently came to same conclusion.
