I thank the witnesses for coming in. I will start with the postmasters' union. Ms Tormey said postmasters are paid per transaction and are not paid a salary. She said most essentially work for around minimum wage and that, while they want more fees, they also need more transactions. The broader uplift of the additional €5 million aside, I will home in on the fees. The rates are obviously not sufficient or adequate at the moment. Has Ms Tormey identified the rate per transaction that would be fair to the postmaster?
