Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Operations and Functioning of National Lottery: Discussion

2:15 pm

Mr. Dermot Griffin:

No. The existing licence was over 13 years old. As all of the gaming systems we had in place were 13 years old, they were coming to the end of their lives. The equipment was functional, but if one was to look at a 13 year old laptop or PC now, one would see that technology had moved on to a great extent. What was sought was a refresh of the technology possessed by everyone bidding for the licence, which would cover the next 20 years.
