I presume the Minister will come to the House shortly to introduce the emergency legislation that is proposed in the postal sector. I do not agree with his decision to allow a free-for-all as far as postage is concerned. The law of diminishing returns applies in this context. If the price of a stamp is increased to 93 cent, fewer people will use the postal service.While the Minister is present, I must say that I cannot understand why the Minister is responsible for communications and An Post but is not responsible for the sub-post offices-----
