Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

During the 29th Dáil the Taoiseach acknowledged that the Postal (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill fell off the waggon, along with other legislation. Is it intended to return to that Bill with a view to addressing the serious issues of An Post and the postal service throughout the country?

On yesterday's Order of Business, the Taoiseach, in reply to my question on the broadcasting authority of Ireland Bill, mentioned possible changes to the heads of that Bill, which is shortly to be published. Has the RTE Authority been in touch with the Government or has the Government been in touch with the authority regarding aspects of the Bill and are changes likely to result therefrom?
