The Minister responded and I am replying to her points, outlining that An Post has a preferred status of some sort, because she states that the Bill strengthens it. There is no mention of An Post now in the social welfare code as having any additional status. There was an agenda and I think this Bill continues the agenda to open up the delivery of all services.

The Minister argued also during her concluding remarks on Second Stage that a great many transactions are made through An Post, but that people will seek to use electronic fund transfers, EFTs, more and more.
