QUESTION NO.17

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

Can the Chief Executive confirm how many post boxes if any, have been introduced into the Adamstown area.

REPLY:

There are currently approximately 5,100 homes occupied within the Adamstown SDZ. Decisions regarding the number of post boxes and their locations are outside the remit of the Local Authority and are the responsibility of An Post.  It is the Planning Department’s understanding that numbers of post boxes are not directly linked to a population-based calculation but rather to the operational needs and historical distribution of An Post’s services across the country.
