Mr. Ned O'Hara:

I congratulate Deputy O'Connor since I believe he is the youngest Deputy in the Dáil, and I am glad to see young people in it, because mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí, mar dhea. We have not yet agreed a rate with An Post, but we are hearing that we need a good rate for that work, otherwise it simply will not be worth our while. There is work that we are prepared to do. We are sad to see the consolidation of Bank of Ireland's bank branches and the effect that it has on the employees concerned. Having said that, an opportunity exists to sustain the post office network. What I hear from postmasters is that we should make sure they are paid enough for it. I hope that answers the Deputy's question.
