David Cullinane: Does Mr. Sloyan consider that to be acting in the best interests of the user?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: I understand that. Mr. Sloyan has answered the question that I put to him already by accepting that it is more expensive with a lesser chance of winning.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: Mr. Sloyan is the regulator. If the first product is more expensive and there is less chance of winning, is he satisfied that he has done his job of protecting the consumer?

David Cullinane: We will move on. There was a new lotto scratch card and confusion over whether there were €19, €20 or €21 cards. My information is that it is €20, which is what the company calls a product range. How much do these scratch cards cost? Will Mr. Sloyan talk us through the minimum up to the maximum?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: Keep going upwards.

David Cullinane: Are there €20 cards?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: I would have thought the regulator would have known that. It was a standard question for a regulator. It is a minimum of €1 and a maximum of €20. Does the regulator view it as a problem that scratch cards are being sold for €20?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: I asked Mr. Sloyan about his role. There is some confusion and Mr. Sloyan might be able to help me clear it up. He stated that he had to consider for approval certain matters, including schemes. Was his approval of the €20 card required?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: The regulator approved it.

David Cullinane: So, it was not up to the company.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: Does Mr. Sloyan not see a problem with €20 scratch cards? Whatever about €2 scratch cards or people with gambling problems being embarrassed about buying ten, 20 or 30 scratch cards? Being able to buy a €20 scratch card makes it more difficult to protect the consumer. Why was that not one of the regulator's concerns when Mr. Sloyan signed off on this?

David Cullinane: What academic literature does Mr. Sloyan mean?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: Who undertakes the academic work?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: The regulator relies on academic research when making a decision.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
David Cullinane: When Mr. Sloyan needed to decide whether to sign off on the €20 and €10 scratch cards, he used the academic research. As the person charged with ensuring that consumers are protected, Mr. Sloyan was comfortable signing off on these cards.

David Cullinane: Okay. What about the online presence? It is a major concern for me. There was some confusion around whether the service could be used outside the country and how it worked inside the country. A person can only sign up for one account. How does one do that?
