I have not yet put my proposals in relation to the national lottery forward for consideration by the Government. I hope to do so very shortly. All the options open to the Government, including the proposal by An Post that they should run the lottery, will be dealt with in my submission. All these options will, therefore, be given thorough consideration by the Government.
