Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

I do not support the tax on lottery winnings. The national lottery uses the phrase, "It could be you" but it would be the Minister for Finance every Wednesday, Saturday and Monday. That would not go down well with the public. We can tax online gambling, which is not labour-intensive, and there is a need to consider the levies that could be placed on online gambling. Sinn Féin proposed 5% and it would bring in €100 million. The Minister should consider this.
