I also welcome the fact that the lottery Bill has been revised. I am aware that many people were very anxious that bingo would, in effect, be stopped. The Bill did not intend that and I am reassured that the law will remain the same for any bingo organisers that have prizes of less than €5,000. However, there is an issue - I understand where the Minister is coming from - given the number of big operators who claim they are giving money to charity yet not much money is going to charity. I am delighted the Bill is being revised and I look forward to discussing it when it comes to the Seanad for consideration.
