A Roscommon county councillor is calling on An Post to address postal issues in Athlone.
Councillor John Naughten has said he has receieved a number of complaints from residents of Monksland who have had post delayed due to them using "Athlone, Co.Roscommon" as their address.
Post has been returned after lengthy delays to residents stating that "Athlone, Co.Westmeath" should be used instead.
Councillor Naughten says people shouldn't have post delayed for using a correct address, especially in an era of Eircodes.
"I am bringing a motion before Roscommon County Council asking the council to write to the CE of An Post to ensure this situation doesn't continue, particularly in light of the fact we have Eircodes and it's very easy to identify where people live, and which side of the country boundary they are".
