Future of post offices

Summary

Michael Healy-Rae seeks legislation to secure the post office network, but the Taoiseach cannot give a publication date and accepts that he should have one.

I wish to declare a personal interest in the matter I wish to raise. Earlier today, the House heard statements on the report, Promoting a Sustainable Future for the Post Office Network. I thank the Government for allowing that important and informative debate to proceed. In the context of the programme for Government, will the Taoiseach indicate the legislation that is going to be put in place in respect of securing the future of the post office network? This matter is vital to every town and village throughout the country in which there is a post office.

I know. According to the Deputy, I should have a date for everything.

That is not a good answer.
