Motion passed in Dail calling on Govt to instruct An Post to keep Cork mail centre

The Department of Communications has insisted it has no role in deciding which of An Post’s four mail centres is to be closed, following the passing of a Dáil motion calling on the Government to instruct the company to keep its centre in Cork.

The motion, backed by 73 votes to 39 in the Dáil today, follows the announcement last week that An Post is to close its Little Island sorting centre with the loss of 235 jobs.
