As is perhaps fitting from a Green Party Deputy, that was the most accurate tribute I have heard to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. He is a good politician and an even better man. That is certainly my experience. I am conscious that today is a difficult and challenging day for the Green Party – it always is when there are moments of transition – and I wish the Deputy and his Green Party colleagues the very best. We look forward to continuing to work together on the implementation of the programme for Government and what we have committed to doing for the Irish people.

Regarding the issue of postmasters and post offices and their falling between stools, I will specifically ask the Minister of State, Jack Chambers, to engage with the Deputy and see if we can provide that certainty.
