Once again this Christmas, An Post is also providing free postage for mail posted to residents of nursing homes and care homes.

‘We know how much this means to the residents and their families and friends, and that often local groups take the opportunity to send cards to residents who may be without family at this time of year,” said a spokesperson for An Post.

“It’s a very special aspect of Christmas that we are proud to support.”
