Clare Fianna Fáil Senator, Timmy Dooley, will host a meeting with the Irish Postmasters’ Union and members of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party today to discuss how the state can support and safeguard the post office network.

An annual Public Service Obligation (PSO) for the Post Office Network of €17m has been recommended in an independent review by business advisors Grant Thornton.

As members of the Irish Postmasters' Union prepare to hold a protest outside the GPO in Dublin today, Clare TD and Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Communications Timmy Dooley says he’s becoming increasingly concerned about plans for the future of post office services in Ireland.
