In the last six months I have met An Post management twice to discuss various issues that relate to the safeguarding of shareholder interests. Additionally, officials in my Department continue to meet An Post management on a regular basis to discuss ongoing issues in the company.

My responsibilities regarding An Post are as set out in the Postal and Telecommunications Services Act 1983 and in the memorandum and articles of the company. My responsibilities are also to ensure that the corporate governance guidelines for semi-State bodies are adhered to and that the shareholder interests in the company are protected. In accordance with the 1983 Act, I have appointed a board and management team at An Post to deal directly with the day-to-day operational matters of the company.
