- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
Gerry Horkan: Please tell me about the four proposals that were refused. Four proposals did not need to be sanctioned because they were withdrawn and two proposals are ongoing or were being processed at the time the regulator wrote this report. Perhaps people are good at bringing good proposals to the regulator because the rejection rate is quite small. Four proposals were refused out of approximately 69.

Gerry Horkan: Sorry. It was an increase by approximately 1,500. The 1,500 have all come in since the new operator came in. While they are on the same margin, can they still sell scratch cards as well?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Overview of Operations of the National Lottery: Discussion (7 Mar 2017)
Gerry Horkan: Can they sell all lotto games? It might be helpful if Mr. Sloyan would write to the committee setting out every game that is available and where. He should include everything that exists, what is available in the new more limited agents, what is available in the full agents, what games are time limited and when they will expire for us to get a fuller understanding.

We look forward to seeing them again at some stage. It might be helpful if we brought the operator in at some point and discussed how it is getting on in its new role.
