Ladies and Gents Unfortunately, we have had to lock the original thread. Over the past few weeks it has turned into a rumour mill. We cannot have this I'm afraid. So here is Version 2.0.

The Post Office on O'Connell Avenue is closing for good this week. A new contracter will be opening something small on Henry street in a few weeks/months, but most of the staff that people are familar with from the O'Connell Avenue branch are not being kept on.

It is the one on O'Connell Avenue that is near St Jospehs church. It replaced the Clontarf Place PO some years back.

I Passed it yesterday and the half where the entrance isn't( The part with the window) was all covered up, but i thought the rest of it was open, so i just thought they were doing something to the window, was on the phone so didnt pay much attention that sucks, they were always really busy.. Maybe they'll move to a smaller unit somewhere in town..

No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die post facts about businesses closing instead of speculating about ones that are still open. :P

They might be gone a while but Brooks Properties have moved out of their lovely offices on Henry Street/Cecil Street junction.

Not too sure if the business itself is still in existence.
