Tipp Post Office closures to be raised at Oireachtas committee meeting

The planned closure of 159 post offices around the country is just the tip of the iceberg according to a Tipperary TD.

The Communications Minister Denis Naughten will appear before a Dáil committee later to answer questions about the closures which include 8 in the Premier County.

Denis Naughten – along with officials from An Post – will come before the Communications Committee to explain the nationwide restructure.

The plan, which was worked out between An Post and the Irish Postmasters’ Union, has been criticised over its potential impact on rural communities.

Tipperary TD Michael Lowry is a member of the committee.
