An Post braces for begging letter deluge

POSTMAN Fergal Barry might need a helping hand on his route over the coming weeks.

The 33-year-old will have to shoulder the anticipated deluge of begging letters headed for the home of lottery multi-millionaire Dolores McNamara.

An Post in Limerick is drawing up contingency plans to help Fergal cope with the expected bags of hard luck stories, including a once-a-day van delivery.
