Ms Angela Kerins:

I would like to clarify the first issue. There was no definition of "administration" prior to the audit for 2011. Indeed, the audit itself recommended that there should be a definition of what constituted "administrative costs". The rules that are now set down in this regard were drawn up in 2013. I suggest that one cannot judge the submissions of 2011 on the basis of the rules of 2013. It just does not work. The funding we get from the charity lottery compensation fund is purely based on our sales and the percentage of our sales. Regardless of what we would like to submit in relation to items, the only way we can draw money down from the charity lottery compensation scheme is through the amount of sales we have in the charity lottery market, averaged over three years. First and foremost, the amount of money we draw down is limited by that, rather than by the list of items we shove in.
