An Post has also unveiled a golden post box on O’Connell St in Dublin close to where Oscar-winning production company, Element Pictures, is based.

Local children Eoin, Saoirse and Aoife Koller were very curious to see a gold wrap being placed on the traditional green postbox outside the Post Office in Ballintemple, Cork, near the childhood home of Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy. Picture: Larry Cummins
