The Government is committed to a sustainable An Post and post office network as a key component of the economic and social infrastructure throughout Ireland and is committed to ensuring that An Post continues to play a strong role in delivering services to citizens. My Department is engaging with the company, other Government Departments and agencies and key stakeholders in line with this commitment.
