38 Mr. Clohessy asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will publish the report on the postal delivery service proposed by Minister of State, Deputy Mrs. Doyle; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3856/97]

As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 12 on 5 December 1996, a report on the quality of postal services was submitted to my predecessor by Minister of State, Deputy Avril Doyle.

The question of publication of the report will be addressed when it has been considered by Government.
