Mr. Paul Quinn:
In terms of engagement, a working group comprising the key representative associations for business, including IBEC, SFA, and Chambers Ireland, has been set up by my office. It is the mechanism through which we are currently working with industry to give a voice to the changes that we know we have to make to public procurement. We want to make these changes to enable SME businesses to be successful because we know that ultimately they are the engine room of the economic recovery.
