A protest is taking place at Croke Park in Dublin, in opposition to Vodafone's plans to cut 130 jobs in Ireland.

AN POST will cease to exist and the Royal Mail will be handling all Irish postal services within a few years, if the current difficulties are not resolved, Communications Minister Noel Dempsey said yesterday.

WORKERS at An Post are expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of strike action today, as another battle between unions and the company looms over the closure of SDS.

THE board of directors of An Post received almost €800,000 in fees and bonuses last year.
