The main post office is in operation with a wonderful old counter hall. You can't miss the building, the Spire of Dublin (also known as the Monument of Light) will show you the way.

The General Post Office (GPO) in Dublin is a historic and significant building in the heart of the city. Since its establishment in the late 1700s, it has played a pivotal role in key moments of Irish history, including the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. During the Easter Rising, the GPO served as the rebels' headquarters in their fight for independence. Despite facing overwhelming odds, they held out for nearly a week. Today, the GPO is marked with a plaque commemorating its role in the Rising. It has been featured in literature and film, such as James Joyce's "Ulysses" and the movie "Michael Collins." With its Georgian architecture and remarkable interior, the GPO is a must-visit attraction in Dublin, functioning as both a post office and a popular tourist destination.
