It's one of 14 town-centre post offices around the country the semi-state company is putting on the market.

Independent Councillor Des Guckian had previously called on An Post to make their plans for the service known.

It comes following the resignation of current postmistress Ann Gormley following a number of years in the role.

He is a highly regarded mediator with the Workplace Relations Commission, where he served as director-general.

An Post has decided to move the facility to a nearby business early next year.

It's due to move from its current historic building on The Square to a nearby business early next year.

The historic building is hosts a significantly smaller work force today then in previous years according to one Councillor.

There was a backlash earlier this year when the company said it would move from its current location on The Square.
