Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Chair Designate of An Post: Discussion.
1:30 pm
Mr. Kieran Mulvey:
Certainly, Deputy. Interestingly enough, I brought the issue of foreign currency up at a recent board meeting before I was chairman because I was in Greystones post office, which is my own post office where I collect my contributory pension every few weeks. An American was there trying to change foreign currency and could not understand why the post office could not take his currency back from him as he wanted Irish currency. He wanted to sell back the dollars he had and wanted Irish currency for dollars. I brought it up at the board. Our finance people are looking at that and at the technology they could use. I believe it is a bit unreasonable to be able to sell the currency and not be able to buy it back. We have a good offering on that and we should increase it. Certainly, we are looking at that.
