The Coimisinéir Teanga was trying to find a solution to this by working and engaging with the Department. The Department committed to writing to and engaging with An Post in relation to this. I do not want to speak on behalf of the officials. Mr. King can come back in again. However, there has been significant engagement. That is why I am here today, to outline the difficulties from An Post's point of view, but also to listen to the concerns of members of the committee and others to ensure that we have a viable solution going forward and that the next contract addresses many of these concerns.

I assure the Deputy our engagement will be ongoing.
