That merits some discussion. I do not know if it is a matter for the Committee on Public Accounts, but a recent case was brought to my attention where Irish companies lost out. I may well bring it in terms of whether it was a fair contract. They were making the point that 28% of contracts go out of the country where it is 1% to 1.5% in the case of France and Germany. There was a significant loss of jobs in this particular case. Is that something that could be looked at?
