AN POST HAS released an update on the new measures it is introducing to lower the risk to customers and staff.
It said that the measures include extended opening times and signing procedures
An Post and the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP) are working closely on measures to assist customers and help the national effort to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, it said in a statement.
The measures include:
Mails & Parcels Services
An Post said that “due to the exceptional commitment of postal staff throughout the country we endeavour to maintain collection and delivery services for as long as possible”.
Customers are no longer being asked to sign for mail deliveries requiring signature. Instead, the Postperson will sign to confirm the delivery in the presence of the customer.
In addition, a stamp price increase scheduled for March 18 has been postponed indefinitely while the country is in crisis, said An Post.
Debbie Byrne, An Post, Managing Director of An Post Retail said that An Post recognises that the coming weeks will be difficult for customers.
“Our hope is that ongoing practical response to the needs of customers will help us playing our part in the national effort,” she said.
‘’An Post is conscious of our role in helping customers access cash and in facilitating local commerce wherever possible and this will continue.’’

Christ that’s depressing. We need to start protecting our world. Starting with our plastic consumption.
@john Appleseed: only 20% of plastic we put in our recycle bins is actually recycled. 30% ends up in waste. Caught every direction!
@john Appleseed: they really should start with Irish supermarkets where almost every single fruit or vegetable is wrapped in plastic. I don’t see it at that level in any other European country.
Ban plastics
Dolphins use earths magnetic fields to navigate so perhaps that’s changing -
@Denise: It is interesting as it’s now known our iron core is moving and will change. However if that was the case all of them would be on the beaches rather than a few. They’re intelligent animals who communicate so there has to be another reason. If their sonar/hearing has been damaged by something it would point to a cause. I doubt if we have a way yet of doing that type of post mortem.
Why don’t they go back to Wales, where they belong?
@Paul Culligan: Is there a rugby match imminent or something
Do they want Irish passports too?
@Jonathan Nolan: change the record
@john Appleseed: Vivaldi or the Smashing Pumpkins?
Submarine activity around our coast
This is worrying news.

I only keep the small ones, I throw the big ones back in. Maybe I need a bigger pan.
Not enough social housing.
I blame Leo and FG.
You see loads at mc Donald’s
If you want to do something about plastic pollution create open data on litter anywhere @ openlittermap.com – it’s like Pokémon go for tidy towns!
Has Danny Healy-Rae TD been asked for a statement?
It is now a scientific fact that 10 rivers in asia our introducing 60% of the pollutants into our oceans, how bloody hard can it be to stop it
I wonder how many were died as a result of being caught in Super Trawler nets.
have your say
