Jackie Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the closure of the post office on Park Road in Killarney, County Kerry, one of the busiest post offices in the south west. The closure of this large, vibrant post office, because of a lack of Government funding, is inconveniencing 4,700 people. I call on the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to intervene and prevent this closure. I also call on the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, who is a local man, to wake up to the situation. There will be nobody welcoming him on the Park Road in Killarney this morning.
