Post office closures are in the first instance a matter for the board and management of An Post and one in which I have no statutory function. However, the following appendix lists those post offices closed in Counties Meath and Westmeath for each of the past 10 years. The information is not broken down by electoral area, as this information is not readily available from An Post.
