Select Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources
An Post: Discussion with Chairperson Designate
5:00 pm
Mr. Dermot Divilly:
I was very impressed with the big sorting offices. They are very automated and read addresses. A lot of progress has been made. As many as 4,500 of our 9,000 staff work on the delivery side in small local sorting offices. That is where the big thing is and it is very much dominated by fulfilling the universal service obligation, USO. There has been quite significant restructuring of sorting, and I think it has been done well.
