Need to have a rant about this but cant say too much as cannot identify the organisations involved.
Yesterday a friend informed me that the company she works for had not been successful in gaining a contract they had tendered for with a government organisation.
The government organisation in question had given the contract to a UK company.
The value of the contract is 6 figures. The UK company came in with a price just under 10% less than the Irish company.
So now the 6 figure sum will be going to the UK economy, plus as a knock on effect the company my friend works for will have to lay off staff as a result of not gaining the contract, so more people on social welfare.
I cannot reveal the particular government organisation but this action is particularly hypocritical given their function.
My friend tells me that her company are planning on whistle blowing this - so you may end up reading about it on the news.
Im just sickened that with all this rubbish from the government about 'if you dont buy Irish its unpatriotic' and all these levys on ordinary punters earnings - that they then go and hand a large sum money straight out of the economy with knock on effects and completely ignore their own public message.
Grrrrrrrr.....................
