I thank everyone for attending today.
The area I want to look at is the charitable lotteries scheme. I would like to get a rundown of that scheme and how it works in practice, and I will base some of my questions on the internal audit that was done by the Department of Justice and Equality in 2012.
To be clear on how the scheme works, Rehab gets an amount of funding from the Department based on its level of ticket sales. For example, in the year 2010-11, Rehab had nearly €4 million of sales. Is that sales by newsagents?
