Fáilte roimh, Ms Buckley. I want to ask about two assertions she makes in her document. She did not get to mention them when speaking but we have them here in the written format. The first observation was that the operators paid a high price for the national lottery and that they would be anxious to get a return on their investment. We will agree that is fair enough from their point of view. She then says it is important that they do not pursue a return on their investment through either delivering technical solutions or customer support systems that are not adequate to ensure system integrity and reliability of the games. Will Ms Buckley explain what she means? I take that she either believes or suspects that they are pursuing a return on their investment by shoddy technical solutions and shoddy customer support.
