I thank the Deputy. Deputy Ó Broin referred to procurement and the relationship between the Minister's Department and local authorities.

While the Minister might want to comment on it, we will deal with that issue in more technical detail when we meet representatives of the local authorities and departmental staff this afternoon. The Minister need not go into that too much. He can refer to it but it will be dealt with in some detail this afternoon.
