Impact of Retirement Packages for Postmasters: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. David McRedmond:
Regarding government services, I will merely list a few: car tax, M50 toll payments, Leap payments, the public services card and any digital ID. It is astonishing that one cannot buy a Leap card in a post office.
Digital ID is becoming a bigger issue. It is not just for government services. It is also something that can be offered commercially for banks and elsewhere where one needs digital identification. One can sign up for mygovid.ie. We have had a site for a number of years called licences.iewhich was hugely underdeveloped. We should have all local authority licences available on that. That is the range of services that we are looking for.
