Mr. Ciar?n McEntee:

Many people open post office saving, POS, books for young children and put money in them. This morning I had to ring Mr. Martin as a lady had contacted me to learn what to do with an account as she had put away money for her daughter but now her daughter had reached 21 years and the account has matured. So there are a lot of people using this service. All of our members are self-employed so we promote post office services to people all of the time. Many people open a POS book as a means to save money for their children's college or secondary school fees. There is a young generation and if we get the chance, we will market post office services. We are self-employed so we must sell services. If we want to get people into post offices, we will go out and sell it.
