An Post expects the closure of 12 post offices to be reviewed in the coming weeks, The Sunday Business Post has learned.

Three post offices are already in an appeals process, while another, Cliffoney in Sligo, has already been reviewed. In that case it was agreed that An Post would offer it a new contract.

In total, An Post made a voluntary retirement package available to the operators of 370 post offices as part ofits controversial closure plan. Of those, 160, including one late addition, opted to take it.
