The National Lottery operator has refused to tell an Oireachtas Committee how many people were contacted or had their accounts cut off due to overspending.
Premier Lotteries Ireland was also criticised for not being able to tell members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) how much money it spent on player welfare.
It comes after the Lottery Regulator told the Committee two weeks ago that 48 people who had asked the National Lottery not to contact them had received communications.
