The Government and I strongly support the maintenance of a post office network across the country. The report, which I will shortly receive and publish, will demonstrate this. The Government's response to the report will demonstrate its commitment to the maintenance of a post office network service right across the country which is viable, remains at the heart of communities and supplies services that people want to avail of. This is the job we need to do, which I am doing, as the House would expect. Once we receive the report and the Government has dealt with it, we will have an opportunity to debate it here.
