The campaign is continuing in Easkey county Sligo to retain the village Post office.

Secretary of the Save Easkey Post Office Campaign, Orla Cawley told Midwest News today that they hope to meet a representative of An Post about the situation later this week.

The local campaign group held a peaceful poster protest outside the gates of Sligo IT last Friday, as the Cabinet had a special sitting in the college to launch the Government’s Project Ireland 2040 plan.

Ms Cawley said the campaign will continue as the community back the efforts to convince An Post to retain a post office in Easkey.

Meanwhile the village is today celebrating the success of Martin McDonagh at the BAFTAS last night.

The internationally acclaimed director’s mother is from KIlleenduff, Easkey. He was born in London.

His film ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ picked up five prizes in total including best film and best British film.

Minister for Culture and Heritage Josepha Madigan says ‘It’s great to see Irish talent represented at this year’s BAFTA awards’.
