Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...strong position within all of the contracts that it is engaged in. From our perspective - over the past number of months we have been looking at broadband, the children's hospital and the national lottery - it is apparent that on the private side the operators take the most robust position available to them within every contractual arrangement and it is of interest what the State's...

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...very much and is of real concern. First, I think it is fair to say the committee feels there is a sharpness to it. Second, we feel it would not have been apparent to the players of the national lottery without the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report. Third, we want to understand the proportion of advertising that is being used from top-up funds versus other advertising and...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: .... I had been speaking to the Gambling Regulation Bill on Second Stage in the Dáil on Tuesday. We have talked about how I have been noticing advertising since our engagement with the national lottery regulator, and I spoke about how I had seen a Christmas millionaire advert, where somebody is having difficulty passing over an envelope.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: .... Representatives of the gambling industry appeared before us in the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice to discuss a range of these points, which are by no means exclusive to the national lottery. We need to know what the spend is, what the distribution of that spend is and how it relates to other issues. I appreciate Mr. Algeo cannot answer my questions because it is a commercially...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: On the player welfare side, I think 48 people were contacted subsequent to their self-exclusion. Are people within the national lottery to dedicated helping or managing that?

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...did not get the sense that it was an issue they were proactively managing or that they were eager to explain to us all the safety measures they had taken. The Regulator of the National Lottery recently came before the Committee of Public Accounts. The matter came up in that context at the committee two weeks ago. We were told the national lottery had erred in a related way. Some...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: National Lottery Fund (24 Nov 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...money being spent on advertising is a big difficulty for us. It is a question around what is the reaction of the controller of that and what steps have been taken, because it appears the national lottery has used its discretion to spend an overwhelming amount of its money on its own self-promotion. We can get to how that is linked to problem gambling and other things, and Deputy...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2021: National Lottery Fund (24 Nov 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: If I go on my app, the national lottery has technology capable of taking my money immediately, whether it is from my phone, my bank account or indeed my bank card. It is very efficient at taking my money but it appears it was not quite as efficient at managing its own systems to ensure people who had actively self-excluded were not getting information for a 36-hour period. Can Ms Boate...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: ...of a breach? A breach occurred due to the operator. It was noted and found by the regulator. Ms Boate took no further action, so the operator got off with it, essentially.
