Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

What we have clear sight on is how much betting tax is coming in. Before coming to this meeting I tried to get some figures on what came from where in terms of various sectors. I am not sure Revenue has it. I could not get it anyway. We have sight of what is coming in and we have sight of what is going out through the Estimates process, and we have a say every year in this context. There is then a specific issue that under the legal provisions we have to get the fund approved separately to the Estimates process. We have to go to the Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine every year and get the amount in the fund approved. It goes through a further process in the Oireachtas beyond what normal Estimates go through.
