I appreciate the concerns about this. I cannot really speak to what the plans are for this particular building but, as the Senators have said, it is an iconic building in the town and it has a great connection with the community. It is important that, whatever happens, the post office remains a central facility for people in the town to use. An Post tells me that the services will remain the same wherever the post office is located and that there will not be any falling back on the services. That is important because, in my own area, I have seen towns and villages that have lost services entirely. I will bring the Senators' concerns about the building back to both Ministers and see if there are any plans that can be shared.
