Kildare Labour Representative calls for second Post Office in Celbridge

By Kim O’Leary

Kildare North Labour General Election Candidate Emmet Stagg is continuing to press An Post to open a second Post Office in Celbridge in the Aghards Road Area near the shops at Castlevillage.

Previously Celbridge Labour Branch Members organised a Petition of homes in Crodaun Forest Park, Castlevillage, Ballygoran Court and View, Kilwogan and Hawthorn Court and 42% of houses backed the call for a second post office.

An Post have now advised Mr. Stagg that they are currently undertaking an in depth analysis and review of its retail network on a countrywide basis and that they do not propose to make any decision on the level and geographical spread of services provided in towns and villages until such time as the nationwide review has been completed.

In conclusion, Kildare North Labour General Election Candidate Emmet Stagg said that “with the continued growth of Celbridge a Second Post Office in the Castlevillage/Aghards Area was required” and he hoped that An Post's Review of its retail network would show the desirability of same.
