I have a quick point to make on turbines. If we look at turbines in Germany or elsewhere, we see that they are located away from houses on the national primary routes. Even on the road from Athlone to Dublin, there are areas which have very little housing on them. I ask the Minister to look at that area. I know he has to have power.

The other point is about post offices. Can the Minister get the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Leo Varadkar, to prevent his Department from demanding that money goes directly into banks? This is a very small point. The present An Post system of saving should be used to allow people to go into the post office and have their account. If they wish to transfer their money to that post office, it should be allowed. I ask the Minister, a Minister who knows rural Ireland, to see what he can do to get a Government decision on that matter.
