I move amendment No. 30:

In page 16, to delete lines 7 to 20.

The amendment refers to the section of the Bill which provides for the winding up of An Post National Lottery Company. Over the past 25 years that company has achieved over €12 billion in sales, provided €6 billion in prizes and raised €4 billion for good causes. It is an exemplary record. The Minister will not be surprised to hear that I am quite happy with the status quo with the national lottery. There is no compelling argument for a change or for moving it to a for-profit model.
