ISME questions ComReg approval of postal increases
ISME, the Business Organisation, has questioned the role and judgement of ComReg in approving postal increases. This comes in advance of a report commissioned by them verifying increased levels of inefficiencies in An Post.
The report indicates that 71% of single piece mail items were delivered next day against a target of 94% laid down by ComReg.
Mark Fielding ISME Chief Executive stated, ” It is clear that An Post are not delivering on cost reduction, not delivering on efficiency and in some cases are not delivering at all.”
He called on the Minister for Communications Dermot Ahern to implement the full privatisation of the organisation without delay, in order to introduce efficiencies to ensure that customers are provided with the appropriate service required.
