Mr. Kieran Mulvey:

It is part of my answer to the Cathaoirleach on that whereby we need to develop more technology that will allow us access to it. If it is online in the post office, then we would have to ask the postmasters because that has an employment content to it for them and for us. This would be how we would have some people from normal postal transactions coming through to help citizens with tax forms, with a car registration or getting online services. It takes a bit of time with things, as the Deputy would know, to try to get on and it is a question of how we would manage to do that. We need Government assistance and certainly the postmasters, as part of whatever arrangement might be entered into in the future, would allow the financial cost of that to be offset by the Government in promoting Government services itself at point of contact.
