IFA urges submissions to save postal network

IFA Countryside Chairman David Wilkinson today urged all rural dwellers to make a submission to the Department of Communications on the opening up to competition of the postal network.
Mr Wilkinson said: “It is vital with the introduction of competition that the pursuit of profits does not undermine the rural postal service. The Universal Service Obligation included in the directive must be defined when being passed into Irish Law. This definition must safeguard a daily service for all parts of the country as well as ensuring prices remain the same throughout the Ireland. Rural dwellers must not be forced to make do with a reduced service and/or higher prices.”
