390 Post Offices were not offered a new contract, so they stay on old contract with reducing income or take the redundancy package.<\/p>\n
This is an average of 15 POs per county that will\u00a0inevitably\u00a0close.<\/p>\n
The long-term future of the remaining 690 is not secure – Their Government contract expires end 2019 – It then goes to tender and there is no guarantee\u00a0An Post will win it.<\/p>\n
PBFI is recommending the New Zealand Kiwi(Post)Bank model for the Irish Post Office Network.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ideally suited to Ireland, similar population 4.69m people. –\u00a0It\u2019s a no-brainer!<\/p>\n —————————————————<\/p>\n Dear Councillor,<\/p>\n We have received requests from several Councillors enquiring as to what can be done on the Post Office closures issue.<\/p>\n Please find attached a motion that could be put before your Council.<\/p>\n The motion is in pdf. format; If you wish to edit it please contact me and I can send it in word format.<\/p>\n The D\u00e1il Motion referenced in the proposed Council Motion is attached.<\/p>\n If any individual Council adopts the motion quickly with the stipulation that, if adopted, it will be circulated to all Councils seeking their endorsement by way of a Motion. It can then be dealt with quickly by other Councils under \u2018Correspondence Received\u2019, by way of a Councillor tabling a \u2018Motion from the Floor\u2019 to support the adopting Council.<\/p>\n Thanks and Regards,<\/p>\n Gerry Duddy<\/p>\n Secretary PBFI \u2013 Public Banking Forum of Ireland<\/p>\n Contact – admin@republicirelandbank.com<\/p>\n\n
