Yes. The second point I would make is that even in a context of Government having a payment strategy which rather looked at moving into the digital economy the Department went to the market for cash-based service delivery in 2013. We contracted with An Post, recognising that there is an issue around retaining services of that type and meeting customer preference in that area.
