New Postmaster and Location Announced for Boyle Post Office

The post office in Boyle will move to a new site early next year. An Post confirmed that Paul Kelly Jr. of Kelly’s Supervalu Boyle accepted the offer to manage the post office.

The office will relocate from its current site on Shop Street to the Supervalu Shopping Centre on Elphin Street, about 450 meters away. The chosen spot is a vacant retail unit inside Kelly’s Supervalu, centrally located on Elphin Street.

The new premises are scheduled to open on February 3rd.

Last year, An Post enlisted the auctioneers Cushman Wakefield to sell 14 town-centre post office buildings, including the Boyle property. The asking price for the Boyle building is €130,000.

“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.”

Author’s summary: Boyle’s post office will move to a new modern facility within Kelly’s Supervalu in February, with Paul Kelly Jr. appointed as the new postmaster.
