No jobs will be lost in the move, as the posts will be transferred to offices in Ennis and Kilrush.
Calls have been made by farming bodies and by local representatives to retain the offices but Area Manager of Teagasc Clare Gerard McMahon says that won’t happen.
He says staffing cutbacks means there is no alternative to the closures.
