New Postmaster and Location for Boyle Post Office Announced
The Boyle post office will relocate early next year to a new site managed by a new postmaster. A spokesperson for An Post confirmed that Paul Kelly Jnr from Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle accepted the company’s offer to operate the post office.
The office will move from its current Shop Street address to a vacated retail unit inside the Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, just 450 meters from the existing location. The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.
Last year, An Post appointed Cushman Wakefield, an auctioneering firm, to handle the sale of 14 town centre post offices, including Boyle’s building. The asking price for the Boyle property is €130,000.
“Yes when we placed the former post office on the market we were doing so on the basis that it would remain as a post office. However, one could never rule out the new contractor giving up their contract, as happened here, not that new applicants would favour a new location,” said the An Post spokesperson.
“That’s what happened here and we have been lucky in coming up with an ideal new location and the chance to provide a new modern facility for the people of Boyle.”
The move ensures community access to a modern post office facility within the town, maintaining service continuity despite the change of site.
