An Post need to get with the times - that's the message from an Offaly Councillor expressing concern over a sudden stop to local postal services.
The body's machines at Dooley's Spar store in Blueball suddenly stopped operating over Christmas week due to a switchover to fibre cables, leaving many forced to travel to Tullamore to collect payments.
Fianna Fail Councillor Ollie Bryant is joining Offaly TD Tony McCormack in putting pressure on Communications Minister Darragh O'Brien to resolve the issue.
He says it's another blow to rural communities:
