It is Government policy that An Post should remain a strong and viable company, in a position to provide a high-quality postal service and maintain a nationwide customer-focused network of post offices in the community.

Following a review under the auspices of the Cabinet Committee on Social Policy, a Post Office Network Business Development Group is being established to explore the potential opportunities for new Government and commercial business for the post office network. On 21 December 2014, I announced the appointment of Mr. Bobby Kerr as the independent Chair of the Group. Mr. Kerr will bring to the Group a depth of knowledge and experience in identifying and developing business opportunities. The Group will engage with both commercial businesses and Government organisations and agencies to assist it in its work.
