Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 October 2020
103. Deputy Eoghan Murphy asked the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications if he has reviewed trends in the use of postal services since 28 March 2020; and if the trends point to a need to review An Post's current strategy (details supplied). [30490/20]
View answerAs Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications I have responsibility for the postal sector, including the governance of An Post, to ensure 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.
My officials meet regularly with An Post and I understand that the company is currently preparing a new Strategy Statement.
I should point out, however, that operational matters and the review or development of commercial strategies for the company are matters for the board and management of An Post and are not ones in which I, as Minister, have a statutory function.
