We resume in public session. We are joined by Mr. Andrew Algeo, chief executive officer, Premier Lotteries Ireland; and Ms Carol Boate and Mr. Derek Donoghue of the Office of the Regulator of the National Lottery.

Before we begin, I ask members and witnesses to be advised of the note on privilege, whereby full privilege is extended to members and those who are conducting the meeting from the precincts of Leinster House. Those on the call from outside Leinster House may have only limited privilege.

I now invite Mr. Algeo to make his opening statement.
