I move amendment No. 2:

To delete the words “prevent the closure of 159 post offices across the State by advertising new contracts, offering alternative services and allowing the potential for co-location of post offices” and substitute the following:

“— guarantee the current post office network to ensure that all citizens of Ireland have access to their important services by introducing a new Public Service Obligation (PSO) model;

— prevent the loss of post office services in the 159 communities where postmasters or postmistresses are retiring by advertising a contract under the new PSO model, appropriate to the local area and taking into account the potential for co-location;”
