Maybe, but they are not going to build the hospital here. However, one never knows what they will do with this building if they get their way. That is a moot question also. I will refrain from referring to the Government in this context, but I am not sure the Taoiseach will get his way in this regard. We will fight him to the last inch, but that is another day's work.

My main concern centres on the area of the regulator. I would like to make one other small point. RGDATA has already lobbied the Minister because it is concerned that the modest margin of 6% must be protected. An RGDATA representative claimed that a similar condition was imposed during a recent competition for the lottery licence in New South Wales, Australia. I understand there is nothing in the legislation which protects the margins for retailers. Perhaps the Minister has a view on that matter, as well.
