Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2006
377 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if the postal service is being run down as part of a plan to privatise it in view of the cutbacks to postal collections and the delays that many people are experiencing in regard to deliveries; and if he has had meetings with An Post regarding these issues. [31972/06]
View answerI have no statutory function in relation to the quality of postal services. Matters relating to quality and levels of postal service are a matter in the first instance for the management and board of An Post.
In addition, the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg is responsible under the European Communities (Postal Services) Regulations 2002 for monitoring quality of service standards in relation to the postal service.
The Government has no plans to privatise An Post.
