I thank Deputy Troy for his questions. As he knows, this is something very close to my heart. First, in regard to the post office network, I am one of the five Deputies who made a submission to initial review for the Bobby Kerr report and it is something I articulated when I was on the other side of the House in regard to constructive reform of the network. The issue of the mail centres is also close to my heart, given there is one in my home town of Athlone. No decision has been made in regard to any of these. The board is considering reports that are being produced by the company. The board has discussed some of these issues to date but no decisions have yet been made and there will have to be extensive engagement with the group of unions and with the IPU. I understand the IPU has already commenced engagement with management.
