I thank Mr. McRedmond and Ms Byrne for the presentations. I am relatively new to the committee so I thank An Post. I came through a Seanad by-election conducted through registered post and I spent much time on the An Post website tracking and tracing envelopes to ensure they got to Leinster House in time for the deadline. It was a very efficient process and the result worked out okay. I thank all those postmasters around the country who took the envelopes and provided receipts. I appreciate that work.

I was never sure of the balance between company-owned post offices, if one likes, versus those operated by postmasters. If I have it correct, there are approximately 60 company-owned post offices and approximately 880 post offices operated by postmasters, with approximately 300 on the old contract and approximately 580 on the new contract. Could Ms Byrne confirm that figures just so I can get my head around them?
