The matter of post office closures and conversions is, in the first instance, an operational matter for the Board and management of An Post and one in which I have no function. I would refer the Deputy to the following appendix which outlines the information requested on the number and locations of post offices converted or closed in County Offaly in each of the years 1999 to 2005 and to date in 2006.
