Mr. Sean Martin:

That is a valuable service that we give. The extra services that we provide to our community are probably unrecognised and unrecompensed. We just do not get paid for them. Mr. McEntee named one of them. The Department of Social Protection gives people forms and we do a lot to help people to fill out those forms. We do a lot in relation to bereavement. When somebody loses a family member, we are the people who pick up much of the slack in that area. We do much work in giving out tourist information and we do not get paid for that. We do a lot of caring for our community. If Mícheál, Leo, Éamon or Hilda do not turn up on a particular day at a particular time, we make sure someone contacts them or someone calls them. We do an awful lot of work that people do not see us doing. However, we are happy to do it. What we are saying to the Government is that we are looking for an overall solution here. We can deliver more services, but we need that €12 million in order to be able to stay viable and sustainable.
