Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: The Indecon report set out a number of policy options for reform which, if implemented, could result in a far more transparent allocation process. That is the recommendation in the report. Has the national lottery engaged with State agencies in that regard? Does Mr. Algeo envisage that there will be engagement?

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: Does the national lottery not have any input into how funding is subsequently allocated? Does it give an overall view in that regard? There would be benefits for both sides. There would be benefits to the lottery in terms of its marketing profile. There would also be benefits for the community.

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: I understand that PLI drew down a loan from its parent company at an interest rate of 9%. Why was the interest rate set so high when borrowing could have been at a far lower rate? Because it was not, the net sum available after expenses are paid is smaller.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: That interest rate of 9% is very high. That was done at a time when interest rates were not as high. I know they are going up at this stage but 9% is a very high interest rate.

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: On that 6%, is there then backup support for sales outlets? Say, for argument’s sake, a particular issue arises for a news agency or a distributor of PLI's product, where, for instance, it becomes aware of and has a concern about people who are addicted to gambling. Does it have the backup support available to it regarding how to deal with that issue?

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022) Colm Burke: There could be a situation where there is only one contact made in the year. Is the level of backup support adequate? The retailer might feel that it is not adequate. It would be interesting to see what level of support there is for retailers. If retailers are not contacting, it then means they do not believe the service is adequate.
