I am the Minister responsible and my Department is the Department responsible. The formal transfer of that decision will come before the Cabinet in the next couple of weeks. I have been engaged with the company. As the Deputy knows, two reports have been completed by Mr. Bobby Kerr and have fed into the restructuring of the company that is under consideration by the board. Significant restructuring is required to ensure the continued viability of the company. It is building on some of the existing strengths, including the nationwide network that post offices and sub-post offices provide. They will be a key part of the reform of the network.
