Post Offices are open and running as normal.

Today is pension day for many and special arrangements for post office customers unable to collect their regular DEASP payments (e.g. Pensions) are in place.  An Post says a nominated Temporary Agent may collect the payment on the pensioners  behalf, on production of necessary ID and documentation.

When collecting a payment, a ‘Temporary Agent’ must produce the recipient's card as issued by the DEASP as well as their own valid photo I.D. e.g current Passport, Driving Licence or Public Service Card.

To become a Temporary Agent, the recipient must complete the required form which is available from the Post Office.
