I support the position of An Post workers. Last Monday evening I and a number of my elected colleagues from north Westmeath met the communications' workers. A significant void exists between what is being printed in the newspapers by An Post and the situation on the ground. It is my understanding that An Post will be meeting the Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. I exhort the Members of this House who are members of that committee to ask An Post representatives probing questions about their treatment of the workers, which is scandalous.

I ask the Leader to arrange a debate in the new year on men's health. There is strong evidence to suggest that the incidence of prostate cancer is on the increase. Given that the PSA test is not conclusive but merely a method of screening, I would appreciate if an early debate could be arranged. Prostate cancer is only one of the matters affecting men's health and I would like an early debate to tease out these matters and see what can be done to address them.
