Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We briefly discussed this matter last week in the Dáil and I committed to coming back to the Deputy on it. If my office has not done so, we will come back to him very shortly on it. The Government has shown huge support to An Post and the post office network. We have taken every opportunity to put new services into the post office, reflecting the changing world we live in and trying to support the sustainability of the post office. That is the position of the Government. Individual post offices are a matter for An Post as a semi-State body, but I will come back to the Deputy directly on the issue.
