I move amendment No. 42:

In page 26, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:“(5) Representatives of the operator shall appear before the Oireachtas Committee having functions relating to the National Lottery when requested to so do by that Committee.”.

Deputies will recall that Deputy Sean Fleming expressed a view on Second Stage that the committee should have power to call before it representatives of the national lottery company. Having considered the matter, I agree with the Deputy and I am happy to provide for this in section 47. I note that the Deputy has tabled a similar amendment to the one I am proposing.
