There are no plans to establish an Ombudsman for the Post Office network. An Post is a commercial State body with a mandate to act commercially.

The operation of the post office network and the terms under which Postmasters contract with An Post is a matter between the Postmasters and An Post and any negotiations are a matter for both parties directly and I, as Minister, have no function.
