Former post office to become family home

This week marks another milestone for the former Kilcar Post Office building.

The service closed its doors for the last time at the end of June 2019, following a shock announcement by An Post.

Now, the premises looks set to be turned into a home.

Donegal County Council has just granted planning permission to Maureen O’Gara to convert the former post office to a three-bedroom house.

There was uproar at the time the closure was announced.

More than 300 locals turned up at a public meeting to discuss the issue. 

However, An Post refused to back down.
