We do not do that. Mr. Cody is happy, as Chair of the Revenue Commissioners, to add 23% to the misery of people who get involved in addiction. For most people gambling is like drinking. They can go out and enjoy a drink or go off and enjoy the races but for the percentage of people who are addicts and who destroy themselves and their families, Revenue is adding 23% and Revenue does not see the need for protections to be afforded to people in respect of the collection of that 23%. Revenue has no act or part in advising the Government. Does Mr. Cody know what revenue is gathered from e-gaming?
