I might ask a few questions with the permission of members. I was not expecting to be in the Chair for the entire session.
Many of the points I wanted to make have been covered by Deputies David Cullinane and Michael McGrath and Senator Paddy Burke. I am an accountant and notice that there is a great deal of financial expertise within the regulator's organisation. However, based on the annual report, there does not appear to be a great deal of expertise from within the gaming or lottery sectors. I am not saying people cannot transition from one job to another, but is there any particular expertise I am missing? Is it fair to say there is an absence of the expertise the regulator might like to have?
