Verona Murphy: We do not do that. Mr. Cody is happy, as Chair of the Revenue Commissioners, to add 23% to the misery of people who get involved in addiction.

Verona Murphy: We have an illegal activity for which Mr. Cody does not have a breakdown of revenue. We have the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, which we will discuss later in respect of the national lottery. Mr. Cody does not know what the revenue from e-gaming is. The UK, where the figures are gathered, had revenue of £14 billion from this. Does Mr. Cody know that 60% of profits for online gambling...

Verona Murphy: Chair, a distinction must be made and I believe Mr. Cody well understands it. We have criminal activity on which Revenue collects VAT. Mr. Cody is saying that is quite okay because it is done under an EU directive. Is that correct?

Verona Murphy: The Department of Justice issues a certificate and that is given to those who are providing the illegal activity for the purpose of providing online gambling but they move into e-gaming, which is illegal. I do not hold Mr. Cody accountable for that.

Verona Murphy: I am talking about the criminal law. Mr. Cody is an astute individual. Is e-gaming an illegal activity for the purposes of the criminal law?

Verona Murphy: Therefore, it is illegal, end of story. I will let Mr. Cody answer in a second. He has just said e-gaming is unregulated. Under a moral code, the Revenue Commissioners, who are responsible for gathering funds for the public Exchequer, is taking 23% VAT on a criminal activity.
