An Post Insist Remaining Offices Will Benefit From Increased Services and Better Investments
It follows the closure of 159 rural post offices nationwide
The CEO of An Post is insisting their remaining offices are set to benefit from increased services and better investment.
It follows the closure of 159 rural post offices nationwide - which Fianna Fáil has described as a step too far for rural Ireland.
As part of the plan, business will be moved to neighbouring post offices, but the decision means many people will now face longer journeys to their nearest location.
12 rural post offices are due to close in Cork with customers facing return journeys of around 20 kilometres to reach an alternative post office.
Nine of the post offices are based in West and North Cork and three in East Cork and include Ballynoe, Minane Bridge, Rockchapel, Newtwopothouse and Shanballymore.
An Post CEO David McRedmond explains.
