Michael Lowry (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

We very much welcome An Post's commitment for a new brand, design and offering of services in Thurles. Our contention is that the new flagship post office can be delivered from the existing headquarters of An Post in Thurles. The facility exists, and is capable of being extended and refurbished and of housing the newly designed service of An Post. Will the Minister of State convey to the Minister, Deputy Bruton, that the Oireachtas representatives for County Tipperary, the local representatives, the local action committee and the people of Thurles, especially the business traders, are unhappy with the decision and are asking the Minister to intervene and tell An Post that the decision must be revoked?
