That is what I am saying; I am agreeing with the Cathaoirleach. The onus is on us as Members to pursue these matters with the Members of this House who are on the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission because it is not acceptable that these people are being subjected to working conditions to which they are being subjected.

I agree with what the Government Chief Whip, Senator Coghlan, said about the national lottery. It is time we had a debate in this regard.

Hear, hear.

There have been three major breakdowns of this network in the past number of months. Retailers are being subjected to much hassle as a result of having to check tickets from individuals who come into their outlets because the proper software has not been put in place for people to check their own tickets in the branches, and I understand it will not be in place until the beginning of May.

The Senator is over time.

Furthermore, I would like an analysis carried out into how much of a reduction there has been in the amount of prize money paid out since the new owners of the lottery have taken over?
