An Post again defends decision to shut Cork Mail Centre

An Post has again defended its decision to shut its Cork Mail Centre in Little Island, and has revealed that both Tánaiste, Simon Coveney, and Fianna Fáil leader, Micheál Martin privately asked the company to reconsider the move on the day the closure was announced.

However, the company again refused to release the consultants' report recommending shutting the Little Island centre over facilities in Athlone and Port Laoise, which were spared the axe.
