I move amendment No. 25:


In page 22, lines 22 and 23, to delete “the Regulator” and substitute “the Minister”.
Given that any decision to determine additional objectives for national lottery funding shall be made by the Government, it is considered appropriate that the Minister, who is a member of the Government, shall be responsible for causing the publication of that decision in Iris Oifigiúil rather than the regulator. This mirrors Deputy Fleming's amendment, the intention of which is the same.
