30p, that's all I used to need to get my lunch in here, a big roll and a packet of chickatees, one…read moretasty chickatee roll coming up! Okay I was in the local secondary school and crisp sandwiches were really popular in those times, I remember some girls even using their bus fare too get this lovely lunch. I suppose you would need to walk home and get the exercise if you ate that many crisp sandwiches! Anyway, Lynam's is the local newsagent/ convenience store for the local school and the locals around Lower Goatstown. It has all the usual things a newsagent has but this one is special because it also has a post office! Yes, that's right this shop has that very Irish multifunction thing going on and very handy it is too!

I believe their Banana Bread is really really good.. OK OK, I gave them the recipe, but its still…read moretrue :) I've tried their in house freshly baked pizza and it was delicious. There was roasted butternut squash, feta and caramelised onion on it. Their breakfast pizza was pretty impressive too. If Lynams keep on this track, they'll be the Mortons or Donnybrook Fair of Goatstown. The shop also doubles as a post office which is always a bonus. We went away with a nice Chablis and Fleurie, both of which were lovely wines. The area is lucky to have Lynams, it's not your average newsagent.

This is one of those post offices that still looks like it probably did 50 years ago and i like…read morethis about it, there is no nonsense in here you just get in do your business and get out, you're not distracted by shiny newness or excessiveness. The only things they stock are cards and paper and string and sellotape, the kind of stuff you might need to post something! There are little counters around the edges of the small store for you to write your letter and lick your stamp, nothing fancy just practical. The people behind the counter look like they have been there for years too, not that they look old but more that they treat customers like you think you would have been treated a long time ago and this is a good thing!

Very helpful staff here! I had to make a couple of separate trips to ship my holiday goods back to…read morethe US, and they were quite nice about my various foibles, including an attempt to buy stamps with a laser card (which you can't do) and my pack-it-all-into-one-honkin-box tradition. Based on the recommendation of the nice woman behind the window, I repacked my gifts into several smaller boxes and saved a chunk of change. Bottom line: Ask for help, bring cash.

The main reason this review gives four stars is because this post office now remains open at…read morelunchtime - hurrah! It was a bit of a bug bear of mine that it closed for lunch and closed for 1h 15 mins at that. But I eventually realised that they closed the door at 1pm and spent another 15 mins serving the queue that remained inside the door. But that's history now. Any time I use this post office the service is friendly and always super quick. I am indeed a fan.

Overall I am a fan of An Post and have no qualms what so ever with the general running of the An…read morePost Show. However, this particular Post Office lets the side down. Small and smelly I can deal with but nothing puts me off more than bad customer service. What's worse is that it is just one member of staff here that makes the place terrible. If you do have to use this branch then I advise putting on an extra thick skin before you enter and book yourself in for a relaxing massage so you have something to look forward to when you get out..that is of course if you get out alive!

Very very bad service and rude staff , there is very fat woman in the till and she is playing her…read morephone when I came in , I have to wait her finished her phone and talk to me , I asked can I pay in with my coins which I have put in with money bad everything count for her already , she said to me no and I asked why she answered to me cuz she have slots coins already and I need go to bank but I have account with an post that is not excuse to refuse I paid the money into my own account, so so so bad service and rude staff, I think because I am Asian face and she is something happened maybe still in her period or something, plz someone can loook into it !

There's never a line at this Post Office location. And, if there is, grab a cup of coffee at…read moreInsomnia while you're waiting. Browse the greeting cards too... there are lots of them! The staff are friendly and it's an overall pleasant postal experience. Never thought I'd write that! Brings a whole new meaning to 'going postal' for me!

Finally, a post office that's open at lunch! Sounds like…read moresomething small but in Ireland it's a treasure to be able to get your stamps, top ups and parcels posted during that precious hour break in the business day. In Ireland banks, post offices and other state / government venues operate under strict hours as mandated by law and union contracts. In 2008 the post office on busy Shelbourne road finally saw the light and kept their doors open for the working folk in the embassies, shops, agencies and bank headquarters that surround it. Stately, wood trimmed and elegant, the post office blends surreptitiously with the vintage cottages still standing despite Ballsbridge's hurtling makeover of the last ten years. Send and receive large parcels, buy greeting cards and do all those things which can only be done in a post office... and do take your time -you have it now, after all.
