An Post has confirmed the upcoming closure of its post office on Barrack Street in Waterford City.

In a statement to WLR News, An Post said the post office will close on May 21st following a retirement.

“Customers of Barrack Street have a number of options available to them including our main office at Custom House Quay and also Ballytruckle and Gracedieu (Hypercentre), all within 950 metres of Barrack Street,” said An Post Public Affairs Manager Angus Laverty.

“We have been working with customers to provide them with a variety of alternative options and I’m aware that a number may also opt for transfer to Cleaboy or Lisduggan. The move enables us to bolster business at our city offices and enable customers to access services near work, shopping or around Saturday opening.”
