Printing Contracts
1:00 pm
Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)
No one on this side of the House would oppose the rules of the internal market. I will examine the tabular statement provided by the Minister. It gives the names of companies but does not say if they are based in Ireland. In fairness, I did not ask the Minister for that information. I will have to review them.
Does the Department have an internal printing procedure? The Government might save money if it had a Government printing press. Some time ago, Fine Gael began to use its own printing facility in Ballymount, as well as the facilities provided in Leinster House. Has the Government considered having its own printing facilities? Money could be saved in that way without the need to outsource contracts.
