New postmaster and location announced for Boyle post office

The Boyle post office will move to a new location early next year. Paul Kelly Jnr of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle has accepted the offer from An Post to manage the post office.

The office will relocate from its current site on Shop Street to a vacant retail unit inside [translate:Kelly’s Supervalu], situated in the Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, about 450 meters from the existing post office. The new location is scheduled to open on February 3rd.

Last year, An Post appointed the auctioneering firm Cushman Wakefield to oversee the sale of 14 town center post offices, including the Boyle property, priced at €130,000. An Post insisted the post office service remain operational as a condition of the sale.

“Yes when we placed the former post office on the market we were doing so on the basis that it would remain as a post office. However, one could never rule out the new contractor giving up their contract, as happened here, not that new applicants would favour a new location,” said the An Post spokesperson.

“That’s what happened here and we have been lucky in coming up with an ideal new location and the chance to provide a new modern facility for the people of Boyle.”

The move presents an opportunity to offer customers a modern and convenient postal service in a central shopping hub.

Summary: The Boyle post office will relocate to a modern unit within Kelly’s Supervalu on Elphin Street, under new management by Paul Kelly Jnr, ensuring continued postal services in the town.
