Post Office Network
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-10
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

I raise the issue of the challenges facing the post office network. An independent report by Grant Thornton recently concluded that the network is at a critical juncture and the financial viability of the network is being challenged like never before. The report projects that the annual cost of running the post office network in 2021 will be €70 million and that it will generate a retail revenue of €53 million, leaving a €17 million shortfall. Can the Minister outline if he will give consideration to the recommendations contained in this report?
