An Post workers prioritize checking in on individuals living alone as Ireland grapples with severe winter weather, making deliveries challenging in affected areas.
An Post workers are checking in on people living alone as Ireland experiences a severe cold snap. While An Post staff are making deliveries as usual across the country, heavy snowfall has made some areas inaccessible. An update this afternoon highlighted five counties where delivery routes are partially or completely blocked due to the weather: Tipperary, Kilkenny, North Kerry, Limerick, and Waterford.
An Post stated that they will attempt deliveries wherever it is safe to do so, acknowledging the challenging road conditions caused by low temperatures, ice, and fog. Despite the weather, An Post delivery staff will prioritize checking on customers living alone or in isolated areas, encouraging anyone needing assistance to contact ALONE's national helpline (0818 222 024). Almost all Post Offices remain open, though with reduced hours in areas heavily impacted by snow and icy roads. An Post will continue to provide updates on their website
