Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Minister for Communication, Energy and Natural Resources Denis Naughten is being urged to intervene following the temporary closure of Carna Post Office.
The rural Connemara post office has been closed since early this month.
Services for Department of Social Protection customers have been transferred to the nearby Cill Chiaráin Post office in the interim period.
A spokesperson for An Post says officials are working to address an issue at the branch and no resolution has yet been reached.
Galway West Sinn Fein Senator Trevor O'Clochartaigh has called on Minister Denis Naughten to intervene in the closure, and says fears are growing that it could be wound down on a permanent basis.
Senator O'Clochartaigh says the local community has been seriously discommoded and want to know when the branch is likely to reopen.
