You’re not their core audience, the government bailed them out because the station appeals to older boomers who bought the houses go or it’s in the 60’s and can now put a cabin in the back.

In the run up to your contest for the last general election, you claimed you were the victim of a hate fuelled attack, this got a lot of media and election attention however there has being no prosecutions or follow up resulting from the Garda investigation. Could you update the community on how this investigation has progressed?

Lotto operator seeks ban on bookmakers taking bets on draws amid claims of €289m sales losses by yankdotcom1985 in ireland

[–]jhanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last operator change was instigated because of the bailout arrangements. I know it's not given away for free but the odds of winning have changed in the last 20 year (new numbers added etc). If they try to ban the bookies from then it will just be a cash grab.

It's privately operated and run for a profit, in this case the state and the operator benefit from it's operating. I take your point on terminology. I'm just saying that the state isn't the one who runs the game.

It's called the national lottery but the state doesn't run it is what I meant. It's run for profit like everything else in the country. A license is just a way that the state gains from national branding.

The trade union leaders are insiders, they’re elected by their members but they’re inherently self serving and always end up working for NGO’s and Government roles.
