To add to that, we are all supportive of the network and individual postmasters and postmistresses. We understand the strain they are under. None of us is familiar with the situation unless we know a postmaster or postmistress. The funding model is per transaction. Presumably, some post offices in urban areas are doing well because they have many transactions. I do not know the range. When the Vintners' Federation of Ireland appeared before the finance committee three or four years ago, it stated that half of its members had a turnover of less than €200,000 per year. Do the witnesses have that breakdown as regards their members? Do 20% of them have turnovers of less than €10,000 or €30,000 per year and a couple are making more than €500,000 per year? Do we have those figures?
