The L-2005 at Ballagh near the infamous turlough will be closed from 11am on Monday to facilitate the works.

It comes as the CSO releases new figures which reveal the amount of housing units being built across the nation per capita.

Works proposed include the repurposing of the building for the provision of two town houses as well as a ground floor commercial unit.

The postal service confirmed last week that it would implement a new business strategy for its Roscommon town service.

Also included in the build is the construction of bicycle stands, parking, and all associated site works.

Members of the public are now invited to have their say in the formation of the next plan for 2024 to 2028.

The project also comprises the upgrade of the existing reception building and shop, along with an environmental induction area to immerse visitors in environmental topics.
