For the past 150 years and longer, the people of Killucan and Rathwire have enjoyed the benefits of a local Post Office and Friday last, 1 October, was an emotional one for many locals with the local Post Mistress, Margaret Mulligan retiring after so many years of dedicated service.
As our old photo shows, the original Killucan Post Office was in a different building and location, but Mulligans have run the post office service in the present building close to the junction of the Raharney Road in Killucan for a century, and Johnny Mulligan’s family provided the service and ran a shop before Margaret and Johnny took over.
