1796. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he has received communications from An Post in relation to the number of post offices that have closed in each of the years 2015 and 2016 and to date in 2017 by county, in tabular form. [28998/17]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1738 and 1796 together.

Issues relating to the closure of post offices are an operational matter for the Board and management of An Post and not one in which I, as Minister, have any statutory function.

I will, however, request An Post to issue a reply directly to the Deputy with the information sought.
