New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
The Boyle post office will move to a new location early next year. Paul Kelly Jr. of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted the offer to manage the post office, confirmed an An Post spokesperson.
The post office will relocate from its current site on Shop Street to a vacant retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, approximately 450 meters from its present location. The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.
Last year, An Post appointed Cushman Wakefield, an auctioneering firm, to oversee the sale of 14 town centre post offices, including the Boyle 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 continuity of postal services in Boyle while offering a modern facility in a central, convenient location.
