Brian O'Shea

Question:

37 Mr. O'Shea asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the proposals, if any, she has to introduce legislation to provide for the rural post office network being operated as a separate unit within the post office division of An Post (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2929/00]

Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke)

There are no proposals to introduce legislation to provide for the rural post office network being operated as a separate unit within the post office division of An Post. The restructuring of the operations of the company would, in any event, be a matter for the board and management of An Post.
