Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister of State, Deputy Ring, put together the post office hub working group last year to identify potential models under which post offices could act as community hubs, particularly in rural areas. That considered a number of options, for example, shared value post offices, which would see local post offices act as multi-purpose bases for the community. That report will be brought to Government shortly by the Minister of State. The perception that this is some sort of secret Government plan is far from the truth.
