Post Office Closures: An Post
Ms Debbie Byrne:
We have always said that, based on the social welfare tender document and criteria, the number is 750. Therefore, it is between 700 and 800. If the next question is whether we are going to close another 150 post offices, there are no active plans to do so. We have restructured the network and ensured the viability of the next tier of post offices. Our focus is on driving growth and new products, not on wielding the axe again in the context of an active closure programme.
