Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
551. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of permanent, part-time and seasonal workers, respectively, who would be made redundant with regard to the proposal to close one of the four An Post mail centres by centre; the number and categories of staff that will be relocated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50236/18]
View answerAs Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, I have responsibility for the postal sector, including the governance of An Post to ensure that the company is fully compliant with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and the governance functions included in the statutory framework underpinning An Post.
An Post is a commercial State company with a mandate to deliver a postal delivery service and a viable post office and mails centre network. Day to day operational matters, including decisions in relation to restructuring of An Post and the operation of the mail centre network, are matters for the Board and the management of the company and not ones in which I have a statutory function.
The information requested by the Deputy is an operational matter for An Post directly.
