I thank the Minister again, but there are still concerns from the fire and emergency services association, particularly from first responders. Those concerns therefore need to be fully followed up by the Department.

How long does the Minister expect it will take to roll out these codes nationally, particularly to rural areas? Is there a difficulty in that respect? Is there an overlap with the proposed new system, considering that An Post already has a geo-directory?

Overall, I welcome any measures taken to improve postal deliveries so that the public, hopefully, will receive mail in a timely manner. Perhaps the Minister can respond to those points.
