Terry Leyden: I think some already have it. Funnily enough, the philatelic section is successful. I welcome Mr. McRedmond, Ms Byrne and Mr. Bridgeman and thank them for attending. The atmosphere today is more calm than it normally is when we are discussing post office closures. At this point we must provide security of tenure.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Post Office Closures: An Post (17 Sep 2019)
Terry Leyden: I would like the witnesses to elaborate on that. An Post should exploit the saving book account. The interest rate is very low as it is everywhere - it is as competitive as any bank.

There is a fantastic...

I launched a few stamps featuring Joyce, de Valera and others. I was once in An Post's philately section and it is a great area with much potential, as it is allows for the recognition of people who have served, current issues, and so on. I...
