Seán Crowe (Dublin South West, Sinn Fein)

I raised with the previous Minister the fact that many contractors are submitting bids that are too low. That is causing difficulty for legitimate contractors. The University of Limerick had a problem with a contractor recently. This issue arises with big and small jobs. It would be useful if a mechanism could be found to give us a sense of the extent to which this is having an impact. It is certainly affecting Joe Public out there. If it is having an effect on local government and hospital contracts, it must be having some effect on school contracts. I would appreciate it if some sort of review could be done.
