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 table. I have been informed by An Post that their records do not subdivide to lower than county level. Therefore the list details the number and locations of post offices converted or closed throughout County Cork in the years 1999 to 2005 and to date in 2006.
