Post office network protection
Michael Healy-Rae urges protection of rural and urban post offices from closure; the Taoiseach replies that the relevant consumer protection Bill will be produced shortly.
The protection of the future of the post office network in Ireland is important not just for rural communities but also for urban communities. Will the Taoiseach ensure that the Minister for Social Protection will not close down our post office network by urging people to use the banks?
