Let me give Mr. Noonan the priority of the OGP for 2015. It is to take on all sourcing activity in scope from Departments and agencies valued above €25,000 for spend falling in eight categories, one of which is marketing and stationery. If what it is doing is not modified in some way to suit microbusinesses in this country, it will continue to have the catastrophic effects that it is currently having on small businesses.
