I appreciate that. My next question is for An Post and the IPU. From my reading of the Karshan ruling and from talking to people working as postmasters, it seems that we really need an examination of whether the status of postmasters as self-employed stands up to the legal tests that we now have. Was there any consultation with postmasters, particularly following on from the test provided by the Karshan ruling on employment status? Is there an appetite from postmasters who are currently classified as self-employed to become employees? Could that potentially help to fix some of the underlying issues of the feasibility of post offices as commercial enterprises?
