Mr. David Moloney:

I thank the Deputy. In some respects, the facts speak for themselves in the sense that more than 50% of value goes to SMEs, and that is a constant year-to-year figure. Of course, we work with the SMEs very intensively through the SME advisory group, so there is constant interaction at that level. There are a number of different issues that have been raised over time, such as the size of the contract lot and the emphasis on aggregation. As I said in my statement, one of the things we provide for is for lots to be broken down on a specialty and geographical basis in order to support SMEs and sectors. Mr. Quinn works more intensively on a day-to-day basis with the SME advisory group and he may wish to add to that.
