I will home in on these four, which are the net loss of post offices in the country over the Covid period. The committee has asked this question repeatedly, and I want to ask it directly today. There has been a 15 month period of unprecedented challenge and difficulty for the entire country. Is the organisation prepared to look at these four post offices, in particular Broadford post office in my constituency, which closed after 190 years. Is An Post willing to re-examine these four post offices? They need to be looked at in a different light. During the Covid pandemic we have seen many businesses close their doors but An Post needs to see these in a different light. Are the witnesses willing to look at these four specific cases and the post office in Broadford with regard to reopening them?
