Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Just think about all those people who collect the stamps or who pay their bills and have done so for years. It is an insult and a kick in the teeth for them. The oddest thing in the policy is the proposal that we continue to pay €12.5 million a year to An Post for not collecting the charge when it is abolished. I am all for supporting An Post but giving people €12 million a year to collect a charge that does not exist anymore-----
