It’s feared that contracts between Tipperary food suppliers and the Garda Training College could be in jeopardy.

With the Public Accounts Committee investigating financial irregularities in Templemore, local producers and suppliers say they have been informed that potential changes to the procurement policy may see them lose out to larger suppliers.

Local Fianna Fail TD Jackie Cahill says the potential loss of such a significant contract could have a serious knock on affect on both local business and employment; and must be protected.
