On the survey done by Red C, and this question slipped my mind earlier, I and two other members of the committee received these calls in the context of detailed questioning regarding the national lottery and our attitudes towards it. I know that Premier Lotteries Ireland will not be able to find out the responses given by each individual, but does the company seek a breakdown of the analysis of responses from public representatives?

By the way, I have not met any other Deputies around the House who have been contacted by Red C. I am not saying they were not contacted. I have not spoken to all 160 Deputies, or, rather, the other 159 apart from me. I have asked this in different places regarding whether anyone has been contacted, though, and I have drawn a blank in this regard. I do know, however, that three members of this committee were contacted in October and-or November. My office received phone calls a few times but I was not available. Was Deputy McAuliffe contacted?
