Ms Róisín Fleming:

At the moment it does but we are finding that there is a general level of unease and fear among school principals. As more aggregate contracts come along, many principals feel compelled to go ahead with them and, for example, to buy stationery from Office Depot. There is a core and a non-core problem in that many principals feel they are tied in to the likes of Office Depot for stationery and they feel they must buy all products from one supplier rather than just the core products. There is a definite perception among principals and it has been an uphill struggle for us.
