I assure Deputy Harkin that this issue is being worked on. We are aware of the fact that the existing transformation payments are due to expire at the end of this year. I am familiar with the previous report that Grant Thornton brought forward about the need for additional support in certain circumstances. The Minister of State, Deputy Hildegarde Naughton, is leading the work on the future of the post office network. She has been working closely with the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, about the provision of services and will bring forward that report and proposals shortly.
