New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
The post office in Boyle will move to a new location early next year under new management. Paul Kelly jnr of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted the offer from An Post to operate the post office.
The post office will relocate from its current site on Shop Street to a retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu in the Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, about 450 meters from its current location. The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.
Last year, An Post hired Cushman Wakefield, an auctioneering firm, to manage the sale of 14 town centre post office buildings, including the Boyle building, which has an asking price of €130,000. An Post stated that a condition of the sale was that the post office service would continue in Boyle.
“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."
Summary: Boyle’s post office will relocate to a new site inside Kelly’s Supervalu with Paul Kelly jnr as postmaster, ensuring continued service and modern facilities for the community.
