View answer163. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if he has had discussions with An Post regarding the closure of the post office in Phibsborough, Dublin 7. [6178/24]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 162 and 163 together.
An Post is a commercial State body with a mandate to act commercially. An Post has statutory responsibility for the State’s postal service and the post office network.
Decisions relating to the network , including those in relation to the future closure of post offices are operational matters for the Board and management of the company and not one in which I as Minister have any function.
