An Post recognises need to improve mail service

An Post says it realises the country's postal service needs to be significantly improved.

New figures released by the Communications regulator reveal a quarter of all mail An Post handles arrives late.

ComReg says there has been some improvement in the service, but that An Post is failing to meet its targets of delivering 94% of mail on time.

Anna McHugh, from An Post, says there should be an improvement in the service soon.
