Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

If you look at the list, perhaps half of them did not have non-compliant procurement identified. That is the answer. They should all be capable of bringing it down to an absolute minimum. That has been the emphasis. Previously, more of them would have been called out for non-compliant procurement above €500,000, but they have got their acts together on procurement. The nature of it with ETBs is that it tends to be supplies for such courses as woodwork, metalwork and so forth, or perhaps maintenance work on schools. Local suppliers are interested in being able to compete and that is the point of competitive and compliant procurement - that everyone who is in business is entitled to make a pitch. If it is not put out competitively, and that is the reason it is non-compliant, then some suppliers do not have an opportunity to compete.
