PQ 58

58. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 247, 248 and 249 of 9 June 2015, and in view of her reiteration in her reply that it is Government policy that An Post remains a strong and viable company which will be in a position to provide a high quality postal service, and maintain a nationwide customer focused network of post offices in the community, the reason her Department persists with a policy on the payment of benefits which is so diametrically opposed to overall Government policy; if she will direct her Department to provide practical effect to Government policy by making the option of being paid at a post office available on all benefit application forms, making the forms at least neutral as to the payment option potential recipients may select, and end her Department's blatant promotion of for-profit commercial financial institutions, to the detriment of a nationwide public service, that is An Post; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
