Will the Leader arrange a debate on SDS at the earliest opportunity with the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources? At present there appear to be two opposite views in An Post.

It would be worthwhile to have a debate to see if we can tease out the matter and save some of the 270 jobs involved.
