We might differ on that.

I would say to Ms Boate and other regulators there is an onus on the regulator to refer something back the Oireachtas, if he or she believes something should not be happening, even if the practice is in keeping with the legislation. When the licence was handed over by the State to a private company in 2014, nobody thought that within three years there would be 64% more outlets selling the national lottery in the State or that there would be the type of aggressive marketing I have referred to. Nobody thought we were going to go to that level. The Central Bank has a role in saying something is not in the law but it thinks the Oireachtas should look at amending the law. Has Ms Boate taken that position with the Minister? Is it something she would consider doing?
