-----for carrying out an internal review and audit of the money that was spent under the charitable lotteries scheme. It seems from the Rehab figures that State taxpayers' money was given to the organisation to subsidise apparent losses in relation to scratch cards. It transpires that for every €4 spent on Rehab scratch cards by consumers, just 1 cent went to the organisation to provide services. This is a fundamentally important issue for Members of the Dáil and the Seanad as legislators. I commend the Minister for carrying out an audit and a review - something that Fianna Fáil failed to do - and for moving in the right direction in this area.
