I am open to getting the clarifications needed on this. As I said, it was important for me to come to the committee today to outline the position of An Post, which explains the reason the Eircode system has both English and Irish addresses on it. That is not to say it is satisfactory. I am not saying that. I completely concur with the members and that is why this is part of our engagement with the committee. This engagement will be ongoing, particularly over the next 12 months as we negotiate a new contract. We need to address how this can work best in the future, as well as the other issues around private companies using their own addresses or translating their own addresses, which is separate to the matter the Senator has raised today. I will give her that commitment and will consider getting clarification on this to make sure everything is done correctly.
