Post office gets reprieve for 107th year

A small rural community is celebrating after An Post gave its stamp of approval to keep its post office running into its 107th consecutive year.

The post office in Old Pallas, Co Limerick, has been run by the O’Dwyer family since 1911. Last September, staff and customers were left distraught after An Post indicated it was considering its future and possible closure.

The company is considering closing up to 400 post offices around the country, according to reports.
