Key state agencies on the brink of collapse

Two key State agencies are on the verge of collapse with An Post and Bus Éireann now in jeopardy.

An Post is set to put the price of stamps up to almost €1 to try up make up for massive losses in income.

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Shane Ross has told Cabinet that the country’s State-funded bus service is at “crisis point” and could be at risk of becoming insolvent in the next 24 months.
