The Postmaster's Union representative for Galway, claims that unless Social Welfare, and similar payments, remain with the Post offices most of the county's post offices could be forced to close within two years.

Padraig McNamara, who is also Vice-President of the Irish Postmaster's Union, says it is vital for the survival of post offices that these and other State payments are not moved to the banks.
