Outrage as New Street Post Office set to close this week – Stephen Davis reports on the closure
The Post Office on New Street is ceasing to trade this Friday 20th at 4pm.
This is the second Post Office to close in the area after the loss of the Kevin Street Post Office.
Customers are advised that social welfare entitlements and pensions will be automatically transferred to St Andrew Street’s Post Office or they can make alternative arrangements for other centres.

He wrote “Unfortunately the post office on New Street is closing at the end of this Friday. They’re moving customers to St. Andrews St post office (2km away), Pension/DSP customers will transfer automatically to St. Andrew Street, But can apply to use a different office it they wish”
“The postmaster there has decided not to continue, but An Post have confirmed to me that they are open to any businesses in the area who are interested in operating the service”
