I add my voice to those praising the fabulous work being done by the An Post network particularly over the pandemic. We have good interaction with its team. I thank Mr. Angus Laverty in particular for the work he has done. He has always been entirely accessible. I want to put that on the record.

Some of the difficulties that have arisen since July relating to customs since Brexit were mentioned. Some smaller operators did not have the wherewithal to get their acts together. I understand there has been interaction with Royal Mail but I believe that some difficulty arose because the filtering system was not working in Britain. Packages would land, be sent to Ireland and it was at that stage a mistake would be discovered. An Post had a huge amount of work to do on warehousing and that clogged up the flow of packages where there were no problems. Where are we with this now? There was talk that there would be a Santa Claus supply chain problem. Are we there or are we beyond that?
