Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the Deputy raising this matter. We briefly discussed it this week and, following that discussion, my office has engaged with An Post on the issue of publicity post. An Post informs me that it offers a publicity post service that allows businesses, charities and other organisations to have material delivered with the regular post. As the Deputy said, the service is split into 272 separate delivery areas, which can be used to deliver leaflets to a specific area to better target geographical areas. It has told me that there are no current plans to change these areas but that they are under constant review. It has also said that if there are anomalies, it is happy to look at them on a case-by-case basis. If there are areas in which there are discrepancies, the Deputy can pass details on to my office or to An Post, which is happy to engage on the matter, so that we can get him a more detailed response on any anomalies that may exist.
