Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The post office in question is a major one. We have closed enough of them without closing one in the town that is viable and beneficial in the square. It cannot be moved from Liberty Square and it must be left there. The Minister cannot wash his hands of the matter like Pontius Pilate. The Government is responsible and it will know about it come election time.
