Preserve POs for the sake of social inclusion

AN POST informs us that 300 sub-post offices will close this year. In 2006, 44 sub-post offices closed, making a total of 400 closures by stealth since 2002.

At present Ireland has 84 full post offices and just under 1,300 sub-post offices, many of which are experiencing difficult times.

The increased use of electronic funds transfer means fewer people need their local office.
