I imagine one of the board's key objectives under its remit is to strengthen the sector and put it on a financial footing for the foreseeable future, but the delegates talked about, and other Deputies asked about, a range of other services, and there was a proposal for a merger with An Post and the provision of those types of services. What is the position with regard to that proposal? Is that something to which the board is giving credence as an alternative in the future, or is that so far away from its remit that it is not a priority now?
