He added that if the landlord had been “agreeable to letting me stay, I would be forced to run the office with only one staff member as the current remuneration from An Post is inadequate”. Built in 1889, the building was designed by John Howard Pentland, who was also responsible for the design of Fusiliers’ Arch at the main entrance to St Stephen’s Green at the top of Grafton Street, as well as the remodelling of the General Post Office on O’Connell Street just before the 1916 Rising.
An Post stressed that while the historic building was closing the “process of finding a new location for the post office is well under way, with ongoing advertisements running for suitable new premises in the general vicinity”.
