Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion
4:00 pm
Ms Tara Buckley:
The point we make is that this is a licence that is being run on behalf of the Irish Government and if that is the case, it is probably the committee that needs to address the issue rather than me. The reality is whether the committee is happy that the type of oversight is happening. Certainly, we believe there should be more transparency about what type of oversight is happening, how these games are being analysed and monitored and how player interests and the public interest are being managed. There is an opportunity with the national lottery regulator to do that work and publish reports for us to see.
