asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will take steps to deal with the inconvenience and delay caused to the public at the General Post Office at Wexford in consequence of understaffing at the counter.

A revision of the staff at Wexford was already under consideration when a complaint was made and it was considered that the staff was inadequate owing to the recent increase in the volume of business. The arrangements at the counter which were found to be insufficient are being reorganised and strengthened.
