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

Aidan Davitt (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Yes but all the talk is about all the money being invested in the clubs and so on, but there is nothing about the €90 million being spent on advertising. That is the reality of it. It is not a matter of this money going into Irish sports clubs. A wall of money is being spent on advertising and promoting the lottery. That is the point I would like to make. It is a monopoly, so it has some of the strongest powers in the State already.
