That is totally at odds with what the Minister told me in response to a question in the Dáil. He told me that more than 95% of public procurement in Ireland is won by Irish companies, 75% of which are SMEs. I will have to put this matter to the Chief Procurement Officer, because I presume the Minister got his figures from a State agency.
