Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Viability of and Opportunities for the Post Office Network: An Post

Mr. David McRedmond:

I am not at liberty to disclose the terms that we have proposed but I can make a few comments about it. First, we have engaged extensively with the Government and with senior officials in the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications. We have also engaged with the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, who is responsible for An Post. We have been working on this for some time now. We have been invited to appear before this committee previously and it is always difficult to come before a committee when one is in the middle of deliberative discussions. I think committee members will understand that we cannot get into answers while we are in deliberative discussions. It is particularly important that we get the opportunity to discuss this first with the postmasters and the IPU, which we hope to do very shortly. We will be doing that almost imminently. There is no relevance or relation-----
