An Post has reassured that Lisdoonvarna’s postal service can still be saved despite an official closure notice issued today.
Following two unsuccessful recruitment campaigns to fill the vacancy, Lisdoonvarna’s Post Office is due to close on March 28th when the current Postmistress retires.
In the event of closure, social welfare payments would move 12km away to Ennistymon Post Office, but in a correspondence seen by Clare FM, An Post has confirmed the service can be kept open if an applicant comes forward before the closing date.
The turnaround time for the existing premises would be up to six weeks or four months for a new location and Local Councillor Joe Garrihy has been telling Clare FM’s Daragh Dolan its absolutely critical the service is retained.
