Whatever about the houses, it is the apartments that are the problem. Often, there is a security lock in place for the benefit of the apartment dwellers. It is very difficult to get one's message even as far as a post box. There is an opportunity for An Post to charge people for a service that would ensure delivery. I am not talking about the official litir um thoghcháin but other types of leaflets. If I am a local councillor or Dáil candidate and I want to be able to deliver leaflets to an area, An Post would be able to say to me it will guarantee that every single dwelling in the area gets my leaflet. It could charge a premium for that. I do not expect An Post to do it for nothing. On the other hand, I expect it not to charge €1.35 per leaflet.
