An Post falls short as 25% of letters miss next-day target

JUST three-quarters of letters posted within Ireland last year were delivered the next day — 17% short of the target laid down by the communications regulator.

While delivery rates in Dublin improved in 2007, An Post did not fair as well in the regions.

ComReg revealed delivery speeds in Dublin improved by 6% to 77%, but in the other 25 counties, the performance improved by only 2%.
