Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 166 and 295 together.
The provisions applicable to staff transferred to An Post are set out in section 45 of the Postal and Telecommunications Services Act 1983. The benchmarking process applies to public service bodies only and An Post, as a commercial State body, was not included in the benchmarking process.
