I spoke to the witnesses at a briefing here in April, I believe, to express my concern about the mail centre and to say that it was important it stay open. That was not the decision An Post arrived at. There was a lot of anger, frustration, concern and worry among the staff there. While it has been dismissed as irrelevant, there was a lot of discussion among employees about the McKinsey report that was, I believe, commissioned. It was the understanding of staff that it did not recommend the closure of the Cork mail centre. Did it recommend the closure of the mail centre, and if not, what did it recommend?
