102 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he has agreed to the total modernisation and to the expansion of the postal services. [19173/95]
The question of modernisation and expansion of the postal services is a matter for the board and management of An Post in the first instance. The Postal and Telecommunications Act, 1983, specifically provides that the company shall have the power to do anything which appears to it to be requisite, advantageous or incidental to, or which appears to it to facilitate, either directly or indirectly, the performance by it of its functions as specified in the Act or in its memorandum of association and is not inconsistent with any enactment for the time being in force.
