There is a feature we are coming up with. I compliment the staff of the post offices in Limerick, including Aengus Lafferty and others. We have dealt with the staff and everybody wants the network to be sustainable. The An Post officials are talking about expanding the service. What is coming up all the time is the renting of good premises is a difficulty. If the officials are looking for that range of services then they are looking for them to rent better premises in many cases. It is something that will have to be factored into the discussions. We are finding the rent of a new premises can be very high and that makes the model unsustainable under the new contracts. Will the officials elaborate on that? Is it a feature they are finding?
