Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 October 2024
129. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications to consider appointing an ombudsman to deal with issues between An Post and Postmasters; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42746/24]
View answerThere are no plans to establish an Ombudsman for the Post Office network. An Post is a commercial State body with a mandate to act commercially.
The operation of the post office network and the terms under which Postmasters contract with An Post is a matter between the Postmasters and An Post and any negotiations are a matter for both parties directly and I, as Minister, have no function.
