National Lottery (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-02-24
============================================================

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I fully support the Bill. I must point out at the outset that I am a national lottery agent. It has been in the family since it came out first. We were a ticket agent and when I took over my present business in 2007 I took on the full lottery agent. I want to clarify that the national lottery has a separate regulator. It is not going to be regulated the same as gambling. It is regulated completely differently and far more stringently. Only last week I did the compliance which I have to do on a yearly basis.
