I move amendment No. 22:

In page 22, line 8, to delete “50 per cent” and substitute “55 per cent”.

In the legislation the Minister has pitched the total value of the prize money at not less than 50% of the total moneys. My amendment proposes to raise that to 55%. The logic behind that is that the increased on-line sales, which will be facilitated by the new regime in this legislation, should be reflected in a greater take for the playing public in respect of prize money.
