That is fine.

My next question relates to the operation of An Post and the adaptation of technology and the challenges technology brings about. I think Mr. Divilly may have alluded to it in the last answer. Drone technology is now being used in the US for deliveries. Amazon, in particular, is experimenting, at any rate, with drones. Colleagues in my office tell me one can now order a parcel - I have not done it yet and did not know one could - from Amazon and have it shipped to a Parcel Motel facility in Northern Ireland, which then initiates a second run delivered to collection points in the Republic of Ireland.

Apparently, many people are doing this now as a way to avoid postage-----
