"Mr President, in April 2016 Ireland will transpose three new procurement directives into national law and previous guidelines from the Commission give scope for the government of Ireland to use procurement as a positive instrument to achieve gender equality and sustainable development, and to realise social goals such as its national anti—poverty targets. In order to ensure real public accountability, labour rights, equality and environmental considerations should be explicitly referred to at all stages of procurement processes. The right to organise collective bargaining and gender equality, as set out by the ILO standards, must also be complied with and monitored on an ongoing basis.
Given that my country, Ireland, is second in the OECD for low pay – and women are particularly vulnerable in this area – the living wage should always be included when applying the best price-quality ratio. The directives do not oblige Ireland to contract out services that they wish to provide themselves, and they should therefore remain in public control. Community and voluntary services must also be protected and not disadvantaged by a move from a grant—based funding model to one of tendering."@en1
