Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 January 2024
136. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to consider establishing an Ombudsman for An Post; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2185/24]
View answerThere are no plans to establish an Ombudsman for the Post Office network. An Post is a commercial State body with a mandate to act commercially.
The operation of the post office network and the terms under which Postmasters contract with An Post is a matter between the Postmasters and An Post and any negotiations are a matter for both parties directly and I, as Minister, have no function.
