Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

I have some brief questions. First, is it not our problem that we overly adhere to a love of everything European? We are too good Europeans. We try to behave while other countries do not. Second, why do we not unbundle more contracts and make them smaller so that more of our firms can compete for them? Third, why do we put contracts together on a three or four year basis rather than a one or two year basis which would facilitate more of our small firms in terms of competing?
