New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office
The post office in Boyle will move to a new location early next year, with a new postmaster appointed. Paul Kelly Jr. of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted the offer to manage the post office.
The post office will relocate from its current spot on Shop Street to a vacant retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, approximately 450 meters from the current site. The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.
Late last year, An Post appointed the auctioneering firm Cushman Wakefield to sell 14 town centre post office buildings, including the one in Boyle. 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."
This move ensures the post office remains a vital service in Boyle, now in a more modern, accessible location.
