I wish to raise an issue relating to lottery funding. There is a lull between the last general election, which was bought with the help of slush funds from the lottery, and the local elections which are coming up. I ask the Leader to initiate a debate on lottery funding, including its distribution and on what it is spent. A lottery ticket costs €2 but it does not end there. Concerns have been raised with me by members of the public about the rip-off in relation to lottery tickets. If one wishes to participate in the second part of the draw, one must dial a 1540 number which costs a minimum of 58 cent. Furthermore, if one is not using the right telephone, one will be cut off and must try again. The cost is much greater with a mobile phone or in a coin-box. When one keys in the numbers, having gone through all that trauma which can be particularly difficult for elderly people, one will be told, in many cases, that the number is invalid. I do not wish to see the national lottery following the route of ripping people off. I suggest it is a matter for discussion with the chief executive.
