In the context of the decision of the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, to construct a new working group, the witnesses said in their comments in the media in advance of today's meeting that it was at a cliff edge. Will it be too late when she comes back with her report? What would the witnesses' final comment to us as a committee be? I thank them for being here. I thank their staff. In this pandemic, the staff of the post offices have been superb in how they treat and deal with members of the public. I thank them sincerely. They have been accessible and open. They have provided a friendly and welcoming port of call to many people. I ask the witnesses to thank their members for that.
