Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

State contracts are issued in accordance with European Union procurement law. There is very little the State can do to cherry-pick who gets or does not get a contract. There are times when local authorities, states or even governments might like to do that, but then you are down a slippery slope. We urge that EROs not be challenged in the manner this one is being challenged. I will come back to the Deputy on a specific update. I will get information and communicate it to her as to where we are now.
