End of an era as post office closes
THE closure of one of Kerry's best-known post offices on January 6 will mark not only the end of an era, but also a rapidly changing way of life in rural areas.
For the post office in Kilgarvan, run by brothers Denis P and John O'Sullivan for the past 43 years, is much more than a place where you can buy stamps, or mail letters. It is also a meeting place, a centre of local news and good conversation and even a genealogy databank.
