The Communications Minister says Carrigaholt Post Office is expected to reopen in the near future.
Patrick O'Donovan made the announcement in the Dáil following a recent debate on supports for rural postal services.
The West Clare facility was forced to temporarily close following a robbery in late January, however a community fund has since raised over €55,000 to install security measures and potentially open a convenience store on site.
Speaking to the Minister in the Dáil, Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Cooney insists the Government should be providing this funding for rural services.
