Tom Fleming (Kerry South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The move was kept under wraps and there was no transparency for local people. This should not be allowed to happen under the public procurement criteria. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure this will not be allowed to happen again. There should be public consultation in future because this was done by stealth. It should not be allowed to happen. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene so that there will be no closures of post offices where there are pending closures until the Bobby Kerr report is made available. I ask that this be done immediately.
