The net revenue collected in betting duty through betting offices during the year ended 31st December, 1961, was £1,035,392.
During the same period the gross amounts collected by An Bord Rásaíochta and Bord na gCon from the levies on bookmakers in respect of course bets were £190,759 and £122,953, respectively. These two amounts, I should emphasise, went into the funds of the bodies concerned, not into the Exchequer.
