Do An Post deliver on Christmas Eve? Full guide to delivery times and post office opening hours

The countdown to Christmas is on, with many of us sorting last minute errands and deliveries ahead of the big day.

Others may be waiting for an important delivery and want to know if it will arrive on time.

December 23 is the last day for a while that post offices across Ireland will have normal operating hours.

It is also the last date to post a Christmas card if you want it to arrive on time.

An Post says there will be no mail collection on December 24 - but they will still deliver, meaning there will be a post delivery on Christmas Eve.

Post offices will shut at 1pm on Christmas Eve until December 29.

They will operate normal business hours on December 30 and 31, before shutting again from January 1 until January 3.

It will be business as usual from January 4.
