Certainly, it is a matter we will come back to. Mr. McRedmond made reference to An Post's parcel delivery business. It would be fair of anyone who has teenage daughters to say that the first person one normally meets when one is going out the door in the morning is the delivery man from An Post bringing in that parcel. I commend An Post on that effort. I have got to know them very well because they are frequent callers to my home. That has been a great success during Covid for An Post.

It is a matter we will come back to. We look forward to having Mr. McRedmond and Ms Byrne back before the committee in the not-too-distant future. We are all working in the same direction to have a viable and strong An Post. There is a public element remit and we appreciate that. That brings its own difficulties for a commercial operation such as An Post. Our role is to support An Post. I thank Mr. McRedmond and Ms Byrne for attending today's engagement with the committee.

We will now suspend until 12.30 p.m. when we meet to discuss rapid antigen testing for aviation and travel.
