The main post office in Killarney, at New Street, has shut down this morning after an attempted armed robbery.
A lone gunman entered the premises shortly after it opened and attempted to hold it up, it is understood. However, the man appears to have been spooked and he fled and drove from the scene in the direction of Beech Road.
