Question:

138 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he has completed his examination of the report of the socio-economic study carried out by consultants on An Post proposals for the closure of sub-post offices and the installation of roadside letter boxes; if arising out of his examination of the report he has given any directions to An Post regarding these proposals; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Cowen)

My examination of the report of the consultants who studied the socio-economic implications for rural communities of An Post's proposals for closure of sub-post offices and the installation of roadside letterboxes has not yet been completed. Pending completion of my examination An Post is not proceeding with the two proposals in question.
