It is probably a matter for the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach in the context of procurement because of where the rules come from. However, the Deputy is correct. It is remarkable. Ours is an island nation but we actually give more Government contracts outside Ireland than the continental countries which have companies operating right around. It is extraordinary how things are happening. We will have a quick word on it, but I think it is really a matter for the Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform and Taoiseach which covers procurement.
