I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I have no doubt it will lead to many questions. We are aware of ComReg's letter to the committee regarding the court case. Members have stated their intention to bring their interest in the future of An Post to the witnesses. They need clarification on many issues so we will proceed along these lines. We will speak about the future of services and the future of An Post. Given the huge challenges faced by An Post, from the recession to the increasing use of e-mail and the various other ways people can do business, what does An Post need to do to address the problems and issues it faces as an organisation and as a company?
