An Post anticipates receiving about 350,000 parcels from the UK in the next 24 hours due to a backlog caused by ferry cancellations linked to Storm Darragh. The postal service reports a reduction from 500,000 parcels to approximately 150,000 through re-routing efforts. An Post is deploying 1,400 Christmas casual workers and has coordinated with UK retailers for alternative delivery routes. Customers are advised to confirm delivery dates with retailers as An Post ensures ongoing parcel deliveries nationwide until Christmas Eve.
