AN POST HAS reminded customers of the dates they must have sent post by in order for it to reach its destination before Christmas.
Anyone who wants to send a parcel to European destinations (excluding Great Britain) should do so today. Letters are cards destined for Europe should be sent by Monday, 18 December.
For posting cards and parcels to England, Scotland and Wales, Monday, 18 December is the final date for posting for delivery in time for Christmas.
Tuesday, 19 December is the final date for posting cards and parcels to Northern Ireland for delivery in time for Christmas.
For posting within the Republic of Ireland, customers have until Thursday, 21 December to send their cards and parcels. However, An Post urges customers not to leave it until the last minute.
As well as the latest dates of posting, An Post is reminding customers to:
“Card and parcel volumes are soaring internationally so we urge customers not to leave it until the last minute to post to family and friends at home and abroad,” An Post’s Sarah O’Dwyer said.
“There’ll be full postal deliveries across Ireland this Saturday and post offices will be open all day for gift shopping, posting and banking services.”

As someone living in Australia, I agree with Rudd that the whole thing has turned into a soap opera. It’s a complete farce and just makes me think that they don’t believe they have any significant issues to deal with as they dedicate so much energy to a personality contest.
What goes around comes around
Rudd the dud was ousted for a reason, he was a micro managing control freak that didn’t know how to lead his party.
Nobody else could do any job as well as he could, or so he thought and as a result nothing got done and the PM’s office was total chaos..
He is all ego and no substance.
Sick to the back teeth of this distraction about the leadership, good thing the economy is strong and doesn’t seem to require any governement intervention.
After, last election no government was formed for 3 weeks, country ticked along no problem!
There might be a message in that somewhere!
Shouldn’t there be a ‘u’ in Labour?
Australian spelling, so ‘Labor’ is indeed correct!
? possibly American way of spelling it.
We used Labour in the past, when we were covering the 2010 elections, but we had a chat about foreign spellings after the 9/11 anniversary and decided that it was more appropriate to call parties/buildings/etc by their local spellings, as they’re proper nouns and not just regular nouns or adjectives.
Ergo, we refer to the World Trade Center attacks and the Australian Labor party.
FYI: Even some Australian linguists are puzzled at how Australia keeps the ‘u’ in ‘colour’ but not in ‘honor’ or ‘labor’. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English#Spelling_and_grammar
