I know the HSE goes into bars to see if 17 year olds can buy packets of cigarettes and get tokens for machines. Is there any system in place to do that, to see whether or not retail agents of the national lottery are compliant? Are they asking 17 year olds for proof of ID? Are they checking to make sure? Lots of people who look 21 years of age might only be 16 or 17, depending on how they appear. Is any such programme in place? It is done for cigarettes and alcohol, but is it being done for lotto tickets or scratch cards?
