My next questions are about what will happen in the future. I disagree with the decision and know that many of the staff also disagree as the centre was high-performing. The staff were extremely productive, perhaps more productive than in any of the other centres. It was felt adequate regard was had to that fact. The concern is that the volume of traffic of letters and parcels that has to be brought to Little Island is transported by lorry, that none of the sorting offices has the capacity to properly manage it and that additional capacity will need to be bought. There is a concern that a small mail centre will have to be leased by An Post.
