In the programme for Government, clear commitments were made on the future of An Post. However, some very disturbing situations are arising regarding the company. In some of our major towns, An Post is seeking agents to run the post offices it previously operated itself. Recently, a committee of the House asked questions regarding which Department is in charge of An Post. I would like the Taoiseach to outline his plans for An Post, where the Bobby Kerr repot is and whether the Government is committed to this matter. There is confusion. I would like the Taoiseach to point out clearly which Department is now responsible for An Post. A critical situation exists and we need to deal with it. We have an An Post network throughout the country and I would like an answer.
