Village on county bounds may lose its Post Office

A petition has been set up as residents and businesses along the Cork and Kerry boundary battle to save a village post office with a family link stretching back 85 years.

Ballydesmond, which straddles the county bounds, may be left without a post office when postmistress Anne Vaughan is due to retire on February 28, shortly before her 80th birthday.

The Vaughan family have run the post office in Ballydesmond since the 1930s.
