Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There is a Private Members' motion on the matter today and tomorrow. The Government has put down an amendment to the motion. There are clearly opportunities for An Post to do new business in new ways. An Post won a contract from the Department of Social Protection which is worth €50 million a year. However, there is clearly a need to shake up the way that An Post works as well as many of the post offices and the range of business that they undertake. There are clearly opportunities here. There is no intention from a Government perspective of wanting to close post offices.
