How do we know that the unclaimed prize money is being used as per the contract and who has oversight in this regard? My colleague, Deputy Pearse Doherty, asked the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for the figure for unclaimed prizes but it was unable to provide it and it asked the regulator to raise the issue with the licenceholder. The licenceholder replied that it could not disclose the figure. If we do not know the figure, how we do know if it is being spent as per the contract and with whom does responsibility in this regard rest?
