Mr. Brian McGann:

I have no difficulty with that. I have a letter which shows that Ada Power and other customers throughout the country place a very high value on the post office network and on their post office. It is not something remote or impersonal but something that is valuable to people on an individual basis. It is too valuable to lose.

Do we want to let this important facility wither on the vine? Do we want to have a modern, vibrant, sustainable post office for ourselves and for future generations, or do we want a society where communities disintegrate and where people become disengaged from the society within which they live, and all the social disorder that follows from that sort of breakdown? Today we have a choice. Tonight in the House, Deputies will be able to vote on the motion looking for an action plan. We do not want yet another review. We do not want some vague and unspecified commitment that something might happen. We want an action to deliver on the commitment in the programme for Government.
