Mr. Ciar?n McEntee:

Earlier the Senator made a comment that the post office is for older people. The post office is for young people. People would want to get it into their heads that not everyone has a car. If the husband is out working during the week, the wife and children can come from school and go into the post office, get the children's allowance or even take money out to do the shopping. Around where I live, it is all young people and people in their 30s who have families who are using the post office. We do not have many old age pensioners now and a lot of young people use post offices now. As Mr. O'Hara has said, young people use the post office far more for banking because they need money for the school, football and others things, so they are in and out of the post office as well as using it for parcels and sending different things. There is a young generation who use post offices now.
