Does Mr. Martin believe it is possible to come up with a mechanism to use that €12 million for a service or activity that is based on a fee per item? We need to show that all postmasters are being paid on the same model and that rather than it being a lump sum, the service is basically based on transactions. I know I am asking a lot but for me it is very simple. We have to find a mechanism whereby post offices get the money and the State can show value for money. That goes without saying. The post office network's model has always been around transactions on items. Can it find a way of getting the €12 million to fit into that?
