Postmasters demand action to ensure network survives

The Irish Postmasters’ Union campaign demanding that the Government produce an action plan to ensure the sustainability of the Post Office network will continue tonight with a public rally in Co Clare.

The union, which represents 1,100 postmasters throughout the country, is hosting a series of rallies this week before they travel to Leinster House next Wednesday where they will protest ahead of a Dáil vote.

A motion proposed by the 16 members of the technical group of TDs calls on the Government to produce a comprehensive plan setting out measures to deliver on their commitment to sustain the network as contained in the Programme for Government.
