Local TD seeks meeting with An Post Chief Executive on Roscommon Post Office decision

Local Sinn Féin TD Claire Kerrane has sought a meeting with An Post Chief Executive David McRedmond following the news that post office services will move from Roscommon Town Post Office to a new location in the county town.
Deputy Kerrane said the announcement was yet another decision made by An Post against the express wishes of the community they are supposed to serve.
She said this was another decision to “shove” post office services into another premises while “in the next breath An Post will say they want to expand their services”.
“It is clear now An Post never intended to retain the service in the existing post office building in our county town. I also question their plans now to sell off the building, one which is of historical importance to many.
“I have written to the An Post Chief Executive seeking a meeting with elected representatives on this decision,” she said.
The landmark post office on the Square is set to close in the New Year following An Post’s confirmation that post office services will relocate to an existing retail premises in the county town in 2025.
