I used to marvel at people arriving with a pile of papers on Committee Stage, but now I know why. It is a learning process.

Will the Minister of State reassure me about the 108 jobs in An Post? The company is going to be terminated under section 6 and I am anxious to know about the 108 jobs. Will the 108 people be subsumed into An Post? When private companies come in they tend to cut their cloth to suit their measure. Will these people be retained in the national lottery or return to An Post? Is there a guarantee from An Post that this will happen and where is that written? If not, who will pay for their pensions?
