    Irony here that the taskforce was headed by David McRedmond former CEO of TV3 and current CEO of An Post. The irony that he moved out of the GPO over to the point's Exo building a few year ago, because he just didn't like the GPO and it needed maintenance (you'd wonder who'd maintain the GPO?). I never though I'd say this but I hope RTÉ move to the GPO and Dave gets to be the DG in 2028!

    The postal service has now moved from its historical home of the GPO on O’Connell Street to a new, modern office building overlooking the city’s port and quays.

    The GPO will continue to operate as a post office and museum. 

    And McRedmond on the move

    “It is a milestone. An Post had been in the GPO forever,” he said. “So it was a big decision, it was a brave decision. It was made easier by the fact that the offices in the GPO were very old and falling apart, so it was great to make the move.”

    The location of the building, at the heart of Dublin’s finance and technology district, is also appropriate, he said. 

    “We’re down here by the port, and by the port we’re in the middle of e-commerce, we’re looking at e-commerce and that’s where our future business is. That’s where An Post is now, we distribute e-commerce to the nation. 

    “So it makes sense to be here.” 

    And on another thread where I posted this

    You'd wonder what An Post did to that building since the move the EXO, are we dealing with a group of semi-state companies that have left their buildings fall into disrepair?
