James Bannon (Fine Gael)

The Minister is being political now. I want to come back on a couple of issues. If the Minister had acted on time and given the resources to the local authorities we should not now be in the mess we are in. I mentioned on Second Stage that there was a role for the involvement of the local post offices and postal personnel. Those people are very familiar with who lives where and the residents of particular areas because they visit them on a daily basis.
