Several communities in the Premier affected by the recent spate of post office closures are banding together to offer an alternative to An Post.
Currently there are 8 post offices set to close in rural communities across Tipperary, with An Post declaring that any settlement of over 500 people will maintain a service of some sort.
Retailers and local groups have communicated with an post to offer a solution to the closures by incorporating services in to local shops, however, they are yet to receive a reply.
Speaking on Tipp Today this morning, Fianna Fail TD Jackie Cahill said it was imperative that An Post maintain dialogue with those offering a viable alternative.
