I would like to ask about the contract fee and the Grant Thornton report, which points towards a figure of €12 million. Separate to that, there is the argument, which I think is a very clear one, that there are more services that post offices should be providing. There is also the interdepartmental issue. How do the two issues relate? Is it the case that post offices need to provide additional services for the €12 million? Could the figure of €12 million be based on existing transactions or on the services that are already provided? Do they need additional services to be diverted to post offices?
