Ms Clare McGrath:

Again, I hope I will not miss any of them. I referred at another committee of the House to the fact that, by value, 95% of EU advertised contracts remain in the State. I do not refer to the number of contracts but to the value. We had reason to look at contracts that were awarded by the National Procurement Service. It may have related to a parliamentary question. I stand to be corrected on it but 4% of all EU advertised contracts went outside the island of Ireland. Between the Republic and Northern Ireland, 96% remained.
