Postmasters seek commitment on future of post offices

In their election manifesto, postmasters have called for cross-party and cross- candidate commitment to progressing the Bobby Kerr report on the future of post offices.

The Irish Postmasters Union wants all political groups and candidates to “ensure that the Irish post-office network has a strong economic and social future, irrespective of who forms the next government”.

IPU general secretary Ned O’Hara said the future of the network was a “social and community issue”, not a party political one.
