335 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if he will give a breakdown of post offices per electoral area in Donegal; if he will indicate the number that are still in existence; the number closed down in the past 15 years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9853/04]
View answerAs regards the breakdown of post offices per electoral area in Donegal, this information is not readily available. However, I have asked my officials to forward this information to the Deputy at the earliest opportunity.
There are currently 95 post offices in Donegal. In addition to these post offices, there are eight postal agencies and 245 PostPoint retailers in the county. Over the past 15 years 24 post offices have closed in County Donegal. With the addition of postal agencies and PostPoint retailers, there are now 348 outlets providing various types of postal services in the county.
