Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Future of An Post Network: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Pat Watt:

If we look at the year to date we have had three closures, so our closure rate is very low. In all cases where we have a vacancy we advertise it several times. We have a team on the ground who will actively engage within the community to identify people who may want to operate the business for us. Sometimes that takes one pass and sometimes several. In some cases we have had situations whereby we have a temporary closure because we have not been able to find somebody to take the business and then the business reopens. During that hiatus we redirect customers to the nearest local post office.
