Mr. David Corrigan:

As the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Bruton, indicated last week, this issue must be addressed. It came up at our meeting with the subcontractors on Tuesday and with the Office of Government Procurement. As Deputy Browne said, the protections provided in the Act were lauded at the time. However, if the provisions are not protecting subcontractors, as intended, they definitely need to be looked at. That is probably the primary action to be examined by the industry.
