122. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications his plans to put in place an Ombudsman, or independent oversight body for post offices and An Post workers. [2535/24]
View answerThere 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.
