I ask that An Post write to the committee on the role of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, and the national digital strategy because we want to focus on those matters. We wish An Post well in its deliberations with the Irish Postmasters' Union and with the Department. We want to see money being directed to ensure that the rural and urban post office network is able to survive. I welcome that this money is not confined to post offices owned by An Post but will go to all 833 of them. This averages out at support of about €12,000 per post office but we expect the figure to be higher for post offices that are struggling.
