Subject: Request for PAC Scrutiny of Abtran
Dear [Deputy_______]
I am writing to you as a concerned member of the public to ask that the Public Accounts Committee examine the state contracts awarded to Abtran and its sister company Morgan McKinley.
Both companies have benefited substantially from government contracts, yet:
- Abtran refuses to engage with a trade union despite a Labour Court recommendation.
- It operates offshore entities in the British Virgin Islands for tax efficiency.
- It pays many of its staff the minimum wage, with limited benefits.
This raises serious questions about value for money, respect for workers’ rights, and Ireland’s commitment to transparent public procurement.
I urge you to use your position on the Public Accounts Committee to ensure these issues are investigated in the public interest.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Address / Constituency – optional]
