An Post opens new post office in Dundrum

2 October 2015

The new office boasts a new location and a greatly improved offering for customers in terms of facilities, counter space and parking.  Open from 9am - 5.30pm Monday to Friday and from 9am - 1pm each Saturday, Dundrum Post Office offers the full range of An Post postal, financial and communications products and services.

The new Dundrum office, with Postmistress Maureen Masterson at the helm, is one of a number of new post offices in the Dublin area that have been opened, relocated or refurbished this year.  In the greater Dublin area, since the beginning of last year, An Post has

• Opened a brand new office in Ballyowen in Lucan
• Relocated/opened new offices in Dolphin’s Barn, Knocklyon, Little Bray, James St., Artane, Sutton and Santry
• Refurbished Clondalkin, Crumlin, Drimnagh, Booterstown,  Edenmore and Balbriggan post offices

And a further batch of offices including Ballymun, Faussagh Avenue, Donaghmede and Lusk will be either refurbished or relocated to improved premises by year-end.  

The new Village Centre office features An Post’s new ‘access all’ counter which enables customers to use the local post office on an equal basis without the need for special provision for those with access issues.  The new counter set up is being rolled out across the national network as offices are renovated or new offices open. 

The counter was designed by An Post,  for use in all its offices, in conjunction with the Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA). It has a number of features which make it more usable for all but especially the mobility impaired.

The new Dundrum office is part of an ongoing post office development programme which includes new products and services and more office relocations to better serve customers. In 2014 almost 50 post offices were upgraded or opened in new locations. So far this year more than 20 post offices have been and improved with more to coming on stream  before year’s end.
