Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Future of An Post Network: Discussion
Mr. Ned O'Hara:
An example of that is in the North, where is an assist fee is charged. When people who cannot fill out a passport application form go to the post office in the North and in the UK for assistance in filling out the form, they are charged a fee. In Ireland it is digital only, so the assistance is provided via a tutorial on the website. That is a service we could provide. It could be a supplementary service. The point Mr. McEntee is making is that we provide assistance to people to fill out forms that they cannot do themselves. We do that on paper.
