Public authorities are obliged to award contracts in line with all national and EU requirements and guidelines. These, inter alia , require that successful contractors produce a valid tax clearance certificate from the Revenue Commissioners and adhere to national employment guidelines. I am not aware of complaints of the nature specified in the question having being received by my Department.
