What is the nature of the legal advice from the Attorney General? What is the problem she flagged? As I understand it, from discussions on Second Stage of the Bill, the rate for international postage for a standard letter is €0.43. I know you could say that half of the job is done when it gets here. Is the figure of €0.43 correct? What is the legal problem in terms of us as a State making a decision about altering that up or down? Why is there a legal problem?
