- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (3 May 2018)
Seán Fleming: The next item on the agenda is the minutes of the meeting of 26 April. Are they agreed to? Agreed. Having had a cursory look at them, I have one observation to make.

I said that the committee would hold over on our views on PPPs until we get these documents....

The company running the national lottery, Premier Lotteries Ireland, will not release the value of unclaimed prizes...
