-----I want to put on record on behalf of all of the members of the Irish Postmasters' Union my thanks to the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, and the Department, in particular, for the support in funding which has been put in place to sustain the network over, I believe, the next three years. The post office is at the heart of every single community, not just in rural Ireland, but in urban areas also, and it is important that it is supported. I thank the Government and my colleagues in the Seanad for having passed this Bill and I look forward to seeing it passing through Dáil Éireann as swiftly-----
