Emer Higgins (FG), Dublin Mid-West

I am not sure if the Tánaiste is aware but there is disruption to our postal service in Dublin. It is due to what An Post calls a new operational plan for Fonthill and Blanchardstown delivery offices. The result is that residents in Lucan and Clondalkin are badly affected, with many deliveries significantly delayed. I have constituents and businesses experiencing delays with important documentation and others are having ghost deliveries, whereby they are notified they are about to get a delivery and it does not arrive. An Post has informed me it is taking steps to minimise disruption. I hope it is also taking steps to minimise disruption to its staff through a fair and reasonable change management strategy. What is going on with our only postal service provider? How can we better support postal workers and ensure my constituents get their deliveries on time?
