Best Wishes

Ballycastle Post Office, as we have known it for the last 26 years, will close on Friday this week.

We thank Ann Callaghan for all her service to the community over the years and especially for staying open during Covid-19 to facilitate everyone in the community, as did John Burke and McNamees.

Ann was always willing to help in any way she could and always with a great sense of humour.

We wish Ann, Séan and family many happy, healthy and fun years in retirement.
