Wishing all the An Post HQ employees well in their new workplace, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: "Leaving the GPO is a significant moment in An Post’s history, some might even say the ‘end of an era’. It’s also the beginning of a new one.
"It is fitting that An Post has a new home in a truly ground-breaking building, in addition to its impressive sustainability credentials, the EXO building is the tallest in Dublin, and also unique in its award-winning architectural design, maximising the use of space, and offering unrivalled panoramic views of Dublin."
David McRedmond, Chief Executive of An Post said: "This is an inspiring new workplace designed for how we work now and how our ways of working will evolve.
"It’s where our people will create the future and continue An Post’s evolution as a world leader in e-commerce logistics and trusted financial services, with Sustainability at our heart, always working for the greater good."
