Special delivery for postman who served same route for decades

ONE of country’s longest serving postmen got a special delivery ahead of his retirement next week.

Legendary Cork postman Denis Dunscombe, 65, from Hollyhill, was taken by surprise when he was honoured by some of the residents he has served on the same route over three decades.

Neighbours in the Sandymount estate on the southside of the city said they wanted to make the presentation to thank Denis for his dedication — every morning, hail, rain or shine — over the past 27 years.
