137. Deputy Damien English asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if An Post’s decision to tender for a national post code system presents potential conflict of interest issues in view of its stated opposition to the system as a result of the benefits which could be accrued to private commercial marketing companies to the detriment of An Post; if he is concerned that the necessary incentives for a speedy rollout of the national post code system which has been promised for seven years may not be present if An Post were to get the contract, in view of the competitive damage that will inevitably be caused to An Post from a roll out of this system; if he will confirm whether as part of the tendering process for the roll out of the new national post code system it includes assessments of whether any potential conflict of interests could arise similar to National Assets Management Agency tenders; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
