Rural Wexford Post Offices Under Threat Of Closure

RURAL WEXFORD POST OFFICES UNDER THREAT OF CLOSURE

She says that even though they have the social welfare contract – the government wants people to use bank accounts – which she says will force smaller offices to close.

Post mistress Caroline Fox says it doesn’t make sense to have people being paid into a bank account as they have all the services the government needs.
