Mr. Ned O'Hara:

I will deal with the Deputy's last question on the sense of urgency first. In the course of the presentation I said that all the issues of the post office have been aired over and over again for the past number of years. The question of motor tax has been around for 20 years. There is no sense of urgency. They have been discussing it but our fear going into that process is that it would be a talking shop. We sat down on 4 February 2016 with An Post and the Bobby Kerr group and of last week, on 4 November, we have not made any significant progress. The only serious financial proposals put on the table are by us.
