I move amendment 5:
Section 2, line 39, to delete all after the word " amount " and substitute:—
" of the guaranteed prize money to be awarded in each sweepstake shall be deposited in a public bank is Saorstát Eireann in the name of at least three trustees appointed by the Committee; and where a scheme embodying a series of sweepstakes is submitted to the Minister for Justice he shall on giving his approval name a definite period before each drawing in which the amount of the guaranteed prize money must be deposited."
The amendment means that the entire amount that will be given in prizes over a lengthened period will not have to be lodged in the bank—that only the amount involved in the particular sweepstake that is going to take place will have to be lodged. I think it would scarcely be fair to ask the Committee to lodge more than the amount that is going to be expended on a particular sweep. Supposing that a Committee was running three or four sweepstakes in the year it would be very difficult for the Committee if it had to lodge at once all the prize money given in connection with this series of sweepstakes.
