Post Office Closures: An Post
Mr. David McRedmond:
I will hand over to Mr. Bridgeman. Those who are being offered roles are being offered them on the same or higher terms. The value of the Cork mail centre is not a significant factor in the decision on which mail centre to close as it would be a one-off as a capital asset as opposed to the recurring savings that would be derived each year from not operating a mail centre.
While the decision on the Cork property is important for Cork, it is a relatively minor decision financially in respect of the case for closing the mail centre.
