That is a positive step.

I met the postmasters a number of weeks ago. I was very taken by a number of their recommendations and suggestions, such as the idea that they would all become agents and be able to sign forms rather than people having to get a peace commissioner. That is a no-brainer. It is a great idea. It is often the case that people have to find somebody. I do not know how this would be facilitated through payments from An Post or how it would be valued but it is a great example of social value. Of all the components the Irish Postmasters Union has put forward, is there any with which An Post does not agree? Would the witnesses like to say so publicly now or forever hold their peace?
