The Government and the board of An Post are committed to securing a viable and sustainable nationwide post office network as set out in the programme for Government. I believe that the Irish Postmasters Union also shares this commitment and the input of its members into the development of our post office network, in partnership with An Post management, is an essential element of securing the future of the network.
