Ms Carol Boate:

All I can say is that every country makes a decision on the kind of licence to have and what should happen to unclaimed prizes. As I said earlier, the amount is never zero. In some countries it goes directly to good causes. That was the case in the UK. It goes straight into the good causes fund there. I am not overly familiar with the old licence in Ireland - I have enough to be doing to enforce this one - but I know that under the old licence the money went straight to prizes. The new licence is a hybrid whereby some of the money goes to prizes, some goes to good causes and some goes to advertising and promotion. My job is to ensure that is where it goes.
