Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not talking down the clock, the Deputy is interrupting me. We have a duty also to get value for money for taxpayers. We need to encourage our SMEs to get involved in the reform programme and I remain absolutely committed to that. However, we have a duty on value for money. We cannot be hypocritical and criticise public servants for not getting value for money for taxpayers and then call on them to use public procurement as a subsidy.
