Mr. Cyril McGrane:

I am not complaining. We take this very seriously. The fact we continue to update our database daily, weekly and monthly is proof of that. Our quarterly update that comes through GeoDirectory also proves that. It is a fact we are continually updating that database. With regard to our commitment to the Irish language right across our estate, all the material available in both English and Irish in our post offices shows we take our responsibilities in respect of the Irish language extremely seriously, as we will continue to.

The point I am making is this is not fixed in time. It continues. We referenced this earlier. Through our constant updating and working with logainm.ie, we know there are different interpretations and spellings throughout the different Gaeltacht regions of Ireland. We have to take all of those factors into account and, while doing all of this, ensure we meet our obligations in respect of next-day service. The point I was making is we are doing that. We are confident that letters addressed in Irish, or indeed in English, receive that next-day quality service in our Gaeltacht areas through our delivery service units. Many from the local population are employed in those delivery service units and are Irish speakers themselves. With their knowledge, they are helping us all of the time to improve our database. It is constant, however. It does not stop at one point in time at which that is it and it is all done. As Mr. Keogh mentioned, people decide to change the name of their houses. Somebody new may come in and decide to change the name. That new name then enters common parlance and, in turn, we make the change. It is a living breathing database.
