Yes, but there are five panels. One of the suggestions Senator McDowell put forward was that it might help the local post office. That was during the crisis with post offices, but Senator McDowell has no more regard for the local post office in Ballyglass or Belcarra, where I come from, than the man in the moon. However, we should calculate the cost, and I hope the Department will examine that. There could be an electorate of 500,000 on one panel. The Senator is saying that literature from each of 40 candidates will be sent to them. There is the size of the ballot paper that will be posted to them and them having to post the ballot papers back.
