Regina Doherty

Question:

330 Deputy Regina Doherty asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in view of the recent changes to postal services in Ashbourne, County Meath and the fact that the nearest sorting office is in Dunshaughlin, County Meath, and there is no public transport between Ashbourne and Dunshaughlin, if he can suggest an alternative mechanism by which persons who work full time and have no access to private transport, can retrieve their post from An Post; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30837/11]

Written answers

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Pat Rabbitte)

I have no statutory role in relation to the issues raised by the Deputy. An Post's mail handling and delivery services are an operational matter for An Post and details of these services, including options in place for customers in regard to re-delivery of un-delivered mail, are available from An Post at www.anpost.ie.
