I refer the Deputy to a reply I gave to similar questions posed by Deputies Coveney and Durkan on 12 October — Questions Nos. 175 and 256. An Post is a commercial company and the question of pay increases in the company is one in which I have no function.

I would like to update the Deputy on recent developments on industrial relations in the company. The ballot for industrial action, put to the union membership, closed on Friday, 21 October. Subsequently, the union has served the company with 14 days' strike notice. The precise nature of such industrial action has not been announced.
