Hynes to Resign An Post Position

30 September 2002

Mr Hynes, who joined An Post in August 1990 and is one of the longest serving chief executives of a commercial State company, made his announcement to staff.


He said he had informed the company chairman Mr Stephen O’Connor of his decision at this stage so that an orderly process could be initiated to find a successor and to ensure a smooth transition.


Mr Hynes said “An Post has a strong management team, committed staff and unions and the company enjoys the trust and respect of the Irish public. The company has a good future and I wish my successor well”.


Mr O’Connor thanked Mr Hynes for the significant contribution which he had made to An Post over his years as chief executive.
