Yes, and Mr. McHugh's opening statement was very informative in terms of what we need to discuss here. He mentioned the case unfolding in Austria that could involve €61 billion in public money, where construction companies could face hundreds of millions of euro in fines as a result.

We also saw the case in Spain last year. Are any of the companies involved in the Austrian bid-rigging case operating in Ireland? Have any of the companies involved won any public procurement contracts in Ireland?
