I had to step out to as I had another speaking commitment. I apologise if I repeat something or ask a question a colleague has asked earlier when I was not here.
Further to what Senator Ward and the Acting Chair said, it is perfectly obvious that it is easier to bet on a phone. It is easier to book a flight on a phone. It is easier to buy groceries or a pair of shoes because it is there all the time. What Senator Ward said about the data and the conflation between the UK and Irish data is important. I asked Mr. Le Jeune at the beginning why he thought online was safer than retail. He used those data and I said I did not necessarily accept the correlation. Would he like to add anything else?
