We have raised issues about how that tendering process should support organisations such as An Post because it provides the service through its post office network throughout the country. I am not convinced by the Minister's argument. Perhaps the option of "payment service provider and/or An Post" could be examined again.

There is also an issue with the time allowed. Larger parties have the ability to move quickly to submit amendments but it is very difficult for Independent Deputies or smaller parties to submit amendments quickly on complex legislation.
