That is why the rest of the advertising becomes so interesting to us. We wonder why PLI needs to rely on that unclaimed prize money to the extent it has been. How does that relate to the rest of its advertising spend? We see very considerable advertising. There is the marketing information. I might just check the Comptroller and Auditor General. It is not apparent to us from the accounts how much is being spent on advertising and Mr. Algeo said it is commercially sensitive. From the Comptroller and Auditor General’s perspective, was it apparent from the Premier Lottery Ireland accounts or did he have to rely on the information coming through the regulator?
