Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Public Procurement Contracts: Discussion

2:15 pm

Mr. Brendan Bannigan:

At least six from my business. Another company on the island, but in Belfast, also closed. Rondo was a huge company which suffered another loss of jobs. That was all as a result of one tender in 2012, which resulted in a situation in which a business such as Michael O'Brien's must export its books to Norwich to come back to Dún Laoghaire to go into the local libraries.
