Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 February 2007
200 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources his views on the decision by An Post to seek the closure of 500 post offices, in view of the review of offices under way; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8023/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am not aware of any decision by An Post to close 500 post offices. I understand that An Post and the Irish Postmasters Union are engaged in negotiations in accordance with the framework set out in the Ryan report which addresses issues between An Post and postmasters such as remuneration and severance packages and that these negotiations are at an advanced stage.
