I see.

For example, the €340,000 in respect of acquiring the delivery of school meals from suppliers should probably have been put out to tender, particularly in Dublin because it is a relatively small, self-contained ETB. It is different if we are talking about a large county, where it would not be reasonable to expect one supplier to supply at two ends of the county. There is another element as well, which is where contracts were in place but they expired and a replacement competition had not been run, so they just rolled over the contract, which makes it non-compliant.
