Post Office Closures: An Post

Mr. Garrett Bridgeman:

Without getting too technical, we do not drive all of our trucks from west Cork to Athlone or Portlaoise; there are facilities where we cross-dock. In that case, trucks meet at another facility such as that in the north and south of Limerick city. The network is very detailed and planned in the most efficient way. We do not have trucks travelling all over the place. They carry letters and parcels, which is an efficiency that was not achieved some years ago.
