There was a whole-of-government report allegedly commissioned for the post office network in the run-up to the local elections in March or April. That has been lost along the way, if it ever existed. Where is that now? Fundamentally, the Government and the State must direct An Post to change its modus operandiand governing rules as it does not seem to be aggressively going after the businesses which they should pursue. There is a multiplicity of businesses out there which could be adopted into the post office network if there was a direction to do so. We must seriously consider the issue. Did the whole-of-government report ever exist and will it ever come to pass? Was it a figment of somebody's imagination, like the broadband announcement prior to the local elections?
