Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 4:

In page 9, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following:

" "inward mail centre" is the last centralised automated processing location prior to transmission to the distribution centre;".

As the Minister did not accept this amendment on Committee Stage, I am tabling it again on Report Stage to ensure post will be delivered to recipients rather than taken from a centre and dropped off in post offices. I am concerned that An Post and other postal services may cherrypick the easy options. I propose to close this loophole by inserting amendment No. 4.
