That is fair enough. It is up to us as legislators, therefore, to ensure that will change, given I have a concern about the scale of advertising and gambling. Representatives of the gambling industry appeared before us in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice to discuss a range of these points, which are by no means exclusive to the national lottery. We need to know what the spend is, what the distribution of that spend is and how it relates to other issues. I appreciate Mr. Algeo cannot answer my questions because it is a commercially sensitive matter and I totally respect that in regard to commercial organisations, but we have a different set of difficulties as legislators.
Turning to player welfare, approximately how many people work in Premier Lotteries Ireland?
