Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I am not suggesting that that is the situation. It may be that, administratively, it was more convenient to roll over a contract rather than to go to tender and return to the market. It may not be preferential, but there is not market testing to determine whether we are getting the goods and services at the best price and whether all of those who are in the market and able to present the goods and services have had an opportunity to compete for the contract.
