I am not aware of any decision by An Post to close 500 post offices. I understand that An Post and the Irish Postmasters Union are engaged in negotiations in accordance with the framework set out in the Ryan report which addresses issues between An Post and postmasters such as remuneration and severance packages and that these negotiations are at an advanced stage.
