Re: Re: Welcome to Ireland’s ugly urban sprawl

Major changes have occured within the operations of An Post (our impoverished version of a postal service)

Mail now only gets collected five times a week from Urban post boxes where there were 18 collections for most boxes only a few short months ago. Main Post Offices i.e. Urban ones other than the GPO were open 0900-1800 Monday to Saturday not these hours have been slashed and Mail is not collected from Post Offices on Saturdays.

What I don’t understand is that An Post is delivering more mail than ever and has the full benefit of wage moderation under the national wage agreements but yet is losing 92m per year.

The only possible cause is the continued expansion of Ireland’s ugly urban sprawl
