An Post seeks increase as service deteriorates
The minister should not only carefully examine this latest proposed hike but also examine the management and responsibilities of An Post. This body, it seems, can do as it pleases.
Blackrock and its environs is one of the main suburban centres in south Co Dublin. It has a large population and business is growing. This community used to be served by a post office on main street, but this has been closed down for several months now.
Its function has been transferred to a pokey little sub-post office less than a quarter of the size of the original.
The sub-post office is located at the back of a supermarket and closes for lunch each day.
It would be interesting to know what, if anything, local representatives have to say about this farce.
