That is perfect. I will make sure to keep the questions as quick and easy as possible. Perhaps the answers could be as well, if that is okay. I missed some of the debate because I had to pop out for another meeting. Why does this State differ from other jurisdictions with regard to regulatory oversight? Why does responsibility for the national lottery remain with a regulatory body and Government Department separate from those responsible for Paddy Power and so on? What is the reasoning behind that? If we look at other jurisdictions such as Britain, Sweden and France, we see that one independent regulator oversees the whole gambling sector, including national lotteries. Will Ms Boate comment briefly on that?
