View answerAs Minister, I have responsibility for the postal sector, including the governance of An Post, to ensure the company is fully compliant with the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies and the governance functions included in the statutory framework underpinning An Post.
In accordance with section 8.22 of the Code of Practice, all State bodies are required to seek the approval of the relevant Minister and the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform in advance of any material acquisition or disposal of land, buildings or other material assets proposed by a State body. My officials engage with An Post in relation to various consent requests and An Post is aware of the requirement for compliance with the Code of Practice.
