The post master of Goleen Post Office, Breda Buckley, was due to retire on May 31 but extended her term by a month to help a new post master to settle in. However, the candidate who had expressed interest in taking up the role has since withdrawn.

A fresh appeal is being made to people to come forward to run a west Cork post office after a setback in plans to keep it open.
