An Post to amalgamate Castlerea and Ballyhaunis mails operations
Twelve staff from Ballyhaunis and thirty-five from Castlerea will jointly work from An Post’s current delivery office in the Castlerea Business Park.
An Post has confirmed to the Roscommon Herald that there are outline plans to amalgamate its mails operations in Ballyhaunis and Castlerea as part of An Post’s ongoing investment in and planning for the future of the mail’s infrastructure in the region.
The move is likely to take place in the second quarter of 2026.
The company stated, "The move represents an opportunity to plan and organise this important piece of local infrastructure to reflect the changing nature of our business including the huge growth of parcels and the rise in ecommerce and home shopping.
"In all, forty-seven staff, twelve from Ballyhaunis and thirty-five from Castlerea will jointly work from An Post’s current delivery office in the Castlerea Business Park. It is likely that the staff compliment at the newly unified base will increase as a result of the merger.
"All postal staff begin and end their working day in Castlerea while conducting their local deliveries throughout as normal.
"The site is also the base for 20 of An Post’s rapidly growing EV fleet, part of the largest EV fleet in the country, and the site has been fitted out for further EV post vans to be pressed into service throughout the Northwest.
"Undelivered letters or parcels will still be available for collection in the local post office in Ballyhaunis."
