Greenhills area sub-post office
Walsh sought a new sub-post office for the growing Greenhills area near Walkinstown. The Minister said existing offices adequately serve the area for now; provision will be reviewed as housing and shops develop, but no date can be set.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if, in view of the increased population in the Greenhills area, Walkinstown, County Dublin, he will now consider providing a new sub-post office for the area.

The stage has not yet been reached when provision of a sub-post office for the general area would be warranted. The question of providing an office will continue to be kept under review according as housing and other development progresses. Walkinstown and Perrystown sub-post offices are considered to cater adequately for the needs of the area at present.

Arising from the Minister's reply, is the Minister in a position to indicate when a new sub-post office might be provided in view of the increased population? He has mentioned that it would be kept under review.

The provision of additional post office facilities in the area will have to await housing development and the building of shops in central locations to the west of the present estates. The fairly extensive scale of development projected for this area combined with developments in the area in general would be likely to justify the establishment of a post office eventually. The position will be kept under continuing review, but pending the developments I have referred to I am not in a position to set a precise date.
