Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

I propose to take Questions Nos. 162 and 163 together.

An Post is a commercial State body with a mandate to act commercially. An Post has statutory responsibility for the State’s postal service and the post office network.

Decisions relating to the network , including those in relation to the future closure of post offices are operational matters for the Board and management of the company and not one in which I as Minister have any function.

Question No. 163 answered with Question No. 162.
