I have found this morning frustrating. My job is to represent the people who pay taxes and I find I am unable to get the answers I need to do my job properly. The High Court decided that ComReg cannot micro-manage the postal delivery network and I think that is the reason ComReg has taken the case to the Supreme Court. Whatever the reason or the rationale, one thing is for sure: the costs associated with this will not improve postal services in this country. There be will damage done to postal services, people working in An Post and the taxpayers of this country.

We need to bring the Minister before the committee to look again at ComReg's mandate because if it is too loose or cannot be explained in simple English to the members of this committee and to the public, then it needs to be reviewed. I make a formal proposal that the Minister is brought before the committee.
