I congratulate and compliment Ms Bolger on her appointment. It is obvious from her CV that she has the qualifications, knowledge and experience to give good leadership and guidance to An Post at this time, particularly to the board. There is no doubt this is a time of exciting opportunity for An Post. It is important in the new environment that the opportunities are tapped to their full potential.

I also compliment everyone who has been involved with the company during the Covid-19 outbreak to date. As public representatives, we hear complaints from everybody about access to public services. An Post is to be complimented because I have received no complaints about it over the past two years. The team at An Post has done a fantastic job. It has maintained its obligations to the public and has given an excellent service under a lot of pressure.
