The witnesses spoke of the situation for short runs and between the canals but where is the next level? An Post moves a lot of freight from north to south and east to west. Is it considering using biofuels or hydrogen? I believe An Post has the capacity to be involved in the pioneering stage of new technologies, by virtue of effectively being a State agency. The State must show leadership in these areas, even where it does not always make economic sense.

Is An Post looking at changes in heat management within its facilities? What is the general picture across its range of operations?
