Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Deputy Pat Rabbitte)

Matters relating to the post office network, including decisions regarding the delivery of services, are an operational matter for the management and Board of An Post and one in which I have no statutory function. I have asked the company to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to the matters she has raised.
