Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

Future of the An Post Network: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Sean Martin:

I am not sure. A small group of postmasters have taken a case to the scope section in the Department of Social Protection, which has informed them that as far as it is concerned we are employees. I reiterate the situation from our point of view. We have legal advice. It clearly states that as far as it is concerned, we are contractors. I am not sure that is a position we want to take. We would much prefer to deal with the Government and An Post around additional services and getting paid properly for them rather than going down that rabbit hole, as I have already said.
