I will not keep the House. I know we are over time. The people of New Ross, my local town, got some very concerning news last week that An Post is going to tender for a contractor for the post office. Their first concern is that it is in the heart of the town and there are eight people employed who have become part of the community over the years. They are very concerned if a contractor is not found to fill the tender. Will the Taoiseach and the Government ensure that the post office does not close and should not be relocated? This would have a huge impact on the community element of the town. I ask the Taoiseach to please answer that for the people of New Ross.
