Mr. David McRedmond:

I will ask Ms Debbie Byrne to speak about the criteria.

We look at the number of transactions as a benchmark in saying a post office needs X number of transactions to be viable, but our approach is really based on a market definition that states a post office needs to be located in a centre with more than 500 people. If a post office is located in such a centre, offering the services that are coming through, it ought to be viable. However, it is not guaranteed because post offices are individual businesses with their own characteristics such as rent payments. Some post offices pay rent, while others are rent free and some are co-located. We have a set of criteria that can help those businesses to be viable. First-----
