John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I request the Leader to ask the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to attend the House to discuss matters at An Post. There are obvious industrial relations difficulties at An Post that are patently unnecessary and could be properly dealt with by management. I have also brought the House's attention to the EU directive to ComReg on the mobile telephony industry. A duopoly operates in this sector, resulting in us paying high charges. This is unnecessary and we need more and real competition in this sector.
