Acting Leader’s procurement response
The Acting Leader responds that information on public procurement and related matters is expected from the Minister in March.
Please forgive me if I falter here and there in responding to the issues raised.
Senator Darragh O'Brien raised the issue of public procurement, State contracts and improving business and payments to help workers. He is glad that there has been progress on the matter and expects news about it from the Minister in March.
The Senator also referred to the online database for pupils and the fact that some optional information was considered important by the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan. The Leader has already raised a query with the Minister about the online database and she has promised to get back to him.
