Mr. Ned O'Hara:

From 1 July, his transformation payments are scheduled to cease. As we said, they should have been replaced by the new Government services. He was getting an incentive payment of approximately 10% of his old salary to encourage him to be more commercial. That is going to cease. It is approximately 10%. If he was getting a top-up payment, that is going to cease. Therefore, for him personally, without going to individual earnings, those payments will cease. What we expect to happen is this. The Chairman referred to postmasters who have stopped or retired. I am aware of three in Dublin - Mount Merrion, Foxrock and Monkstown - for which An Post was not able to get a replacement postmaster at the terms it currently offers or at commercial rates. Therefore, those post offices are now permanently closed as well.
