View answerAs the Deputy is aware, Premier Lotteries Ireland Limited, a consortium comprising Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (the owner of the Camelot Group), An Post and An Post pension funds, has been selected as the preferred applicant for the next National Lottery licence. Discussions on finalising the terms of the licence have been taking place between my Department and the preferred applicant. It is expected that these discussions will conclude shortly and will be followed by the signature of the licence.
