Post Office Pensioners United -An Post Retired

19/06/2026

David Mc Redmond will be on RTE TODAY radio show.

I sent in this question

*You have overseen significant change and modernisation at An Post, but thousands of retired workers remain disappointed by the ongoing pension dispute. Before you leave office, what message do you have for those pensioners, and are you concerned that your lasting legacy may be not the transformation of An Post, but the failure to resolve an issue that continues to affect former employees and their families*

Not sure if they will ask him....

Ronan Mullen got the debate to go where it was needed.
Bottom line CWU hasn’t made any representations.

*POPU UPDATE*

The following is an extract from last week's Oireachtas hearing . The reply from Ms Nash confirms that the Unions never raised our situation with the Company.

*Senator Rónán Mullen*: Have either An Post or the Department shown any inclination to
deal with what I think to most laypeople would seem to be a manifest injustice?

*Mr. Peter Quinn*: The company works very closely with the group of unions on the pension
issues. Any issues that the company or the group of unions believe are equitable for change,
we have brought to the Minister for approval because we do not have the authority to make the
changes in our own right. We would recommend that processes be changed maybe to have
more authority with the company, but we are dealing with the process as it currently exists. At
the moment, I am not sitting with the group of unions with a long list of pension issues not
addressed. The union even has-----

*Senator Rónán Mullen*: The union does not care too much, is that what Mr. Quinn is saying?

*Mr. Peter Quinn*: No, I-----

*Senator Rónán Mullen*: The union is not worried about these people.* *Mr. Peter Quinn*: No, I did not say that. The union is very concerned about pensions and
has put in a huge effort-----

*Senator Rónán Mullen*: Has it raised the cause of these particular people about whom I am
asking Mr. Quinn? Is it pushing it in any way with Mr. Quinn? Is there any recognition that
they have a case at all?

*Ms Eleanor Nash*: It has not raised this specific issue with us, *no*.

**Cork Members,**

I briefly spoke with **An Taoiseach** this afternoon and once again highlighted our pension situation in light of the recent Oireachtas Committee hearing.

Can I appeal to all Cork members to please contact **his constituency office, along with the constituency offices of all local FF and FG Oireachtas members**, to raise our pension case directly with them. Please stress the real hardship being endured by pensioners as a result of the ongoing **An Post Pension Accord**.

This is happening despite the specific pension protection rights provided for under **Section 46 of the 1983 P&T Act**.

We need to **pile on the pressure now** and keep the momentum going while this issue is front and centre.

POPU sets out our case to the Committee who in fairness are very supportive of our argument. The clip ends before the hearing closes. ..... The Company were in after us. The Committee members posed detailed questions to Peter Quinn Chief Financial Officer and Eleanor Nash Chief People's Officer. Ms Nash confirmed to the Committee that the An Post Group of Unions ( none of whom appeared today despite being invited to participate) have never sought action to alleviate the hardship being endured by Pensioners at any time.

This speaks volumes..... We are now waiting on the Report the Committee will prepare.

Deputy Alan Kelly Chair of the Committee did stress that time was of the essence.

Overall POPU had a good day out.

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
