Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

As it is coming up to Christmas I will, however, be magnanimous by saying that Internet access at post offices is not a bad idea. I will consider it. I am delighted at the interest of the farming community in Internet access to their schemes, such as the CMMS database, and the use of mobile telephones. It augurs well but we will still have to provide both schemes, as the Deputy will appreciate, given the part of the country from which he comes. There are some who, if a computer was sitting on the table, would be afraid of it.
