Sinn Féin are to stage a protest outside the GPO in the City on Monday

Protesters are calling on the government to amend the Public Services Obligation payment in order to prevent the closure of post offices.

The protest comes just two days before the Post Office in Montenotte is due to close. 

An Post say they were forced to close the office after the postmaster retired and no one else applied to run it.

Customers are being transferred to St Luke's Post Office which around a kilometre away.

The organisers of the protest say it's the third post office to close on the Northside in the past two and half years.
