I am sorry I gave time to Senator Dooley because it is very difficult to follow that. We all have been here previously for previous iterations and there is no need to go through what we all believe regarding the post office network, the vital work that is done by the network and by postmasters in particular and the part that plays in rural Ireland. Post offices also provide major services in urban settings. It is about ensuring we have a viable network. Is it possible at this stage to get any detail about some of what Senator Dooley was saying? How is it intended to break up the €10 million grant allocation? Has there been any discussion on how that will be divvied up, for want of a better term? Is it on the basis of size? Is it going directly to the post offices run by postmasters or what is the situation?
