Neither I nor my Department are involved in discussions with the Irish Postmasters Union and An Post regarding the post office network. I understand however, that negotiations between An Post and the Irish Postmasters Union are at an advanced stage.

Post office closures are a matter for the board and management of An Post and I have no statutory function in the matter. However, An Post has been asked to supply the information requested, which will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
