‹ Ceisteanna—Questions Oral Answers. - Postal Charges. Mail posted abroad to save costs
Summary
Deputy O'Sullivan raises companies sending large volumes of mail through Britain to obtain cheaper rates. The Minister says the issue is separate and has been noted.
I cannot accept what the Minister says regarding the type of service that is provided in this country as against that provided to our partners in Europe. As the Minister says we have a house to house delivery service and that is not provided in every country in Europe but one factor which is affecting the viability of An Post is where a major company in Ireland goes outside the State to post a large volume of its mail to avail of the cheaper rate in Britain. I would like to hear what the Minister has to say about that.
