Thurles post office relocation

Summary

Deputy McGrath asked about rumours of a move of Thurles post office and sought clarity for local businesses and residents. The Minister said individual post offices are a matter for An Post’s board, and the Chair suggested a topical question or parliamentary question instead.

Deputies may not ask supplementary questions. I call Deputy Mattie McGrath to ask a relevant question.

Comment on this

Post is always relevant. What is the status of the post office in Thurles? The Save Our Square committee, business people in Thurles and the community in general are very concerned about the decision to move the town's post office. Rumours have been circulating lately that the move may not go ahead. As he is in charge of this area, will the Minister indicate the present and future status of Thurles town post office with respect to its current location?

As this has been previously raised on numerous occasions in the House, the Deputy will know that decisions in relation to individual post offices are a matter for the board of An Post. It is to the board that he should direct his questions.

Perhaps the Deputy could raise it as a Topical Issue matter or in a parliamentary question.
