An Post is delivering just 85 per cent of mail the day after it is posted and is not meeting its own target of 94 per cent, a Comreg report has found. It noted that the result represented a “slight improvement” of one percentage point on the same period last year.

Some 98 per cent of mail was delivered within three working days during the period – still below An Post’s target of 99.5 per cent. This is equal to the result for the same period in 2010.
