Sustainability of Post Office Network: Irish Postmasters Union

Mr. Brian McGann:
With respect and while that may be true to some extent, 48% of the network does 11% of the business. In pure monetary terms, that section of the network will never be economically viable on its own. There is a social policy aspect and that must be valued. There is a need to sustain the network and this must not simply be from the point of view of economic or commercial concerns. The approach must be broader than that and that is where Government must play its part.
