As the Minister is aware, An Post has introduced a programme for the closure of a very significant number of post offices across rural Ireland. There was an expectation and a hope that the Minister's Department would come forward with a level of support that would make it incumbent on An Post to maintain that network open and that it could have been possible for the State to provide appropriate funding to retain the network open. Can the Minister give the House any update on that?
