Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
To a large extent this is true. There is a betting tax and the betting tax was certainly of the amount of the mid €90 millions in 2022. This is correct. It covers or close to matches the cost of this but it is not a strict process of hypothecation. It is part of the policy picture that supports the investment in these sectors.
