"The closure of post offices in Cork will have a detrimental impact on rural communities"
That's the message from Cork South West TD, and former post office worker, Margaret Murphy O'Mahony who has expressed her concerns about An Post's rural closure programme.
Reports indicate that 11 Cork Post Offices have been listed as one of the 161 to close, including Drinagh and Ballineen, with details to be confirmed at the end of the month.
