The message from Fianna Fáil is that we wholly support the An Post network, and the Government should support it. We want financial support to be considered for post offices in order to maintain them on a viable basis. The Fianna Fáil Party was and is very close to the post office network. It is a connection we have had since the foundation of the State. We support the post offices and want to retain as many as possible. A public service fund could be provided to ensure those post offices that would not otherwise be viable are maintained.
