Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

In the Taoiseach's absence on Thursday last I raised with the Tánaiste the present whereabouts of the postal miscellaneous provisions Bill, which was promised last year and then was "unpromised". The Taoiseach famously stated that it fell off the wagon. We inquired of the Tánaiste as to the present whereabouts of the wagon and where the Bill was because at the same time that this was falling off the wagon, post offices were being closed all over the country indiscriminately with serious consequences for the entire postal network.
