LATEST: An Post confirms six post offices across Clare remain closed following Storm Éowyn

An Post has confirmed that more than 70 post offices remain closed across the country following Storm Éowyn, including six in County Clare.

In an update, the state-owned company says some post offices are open but that Department of Social Protection payments may be delayed due to storm damage to communications systems.

A spokesperson says the situation is improving all the time and in some cases, customers can go to a neighbouring post office to collect their DSP payment (see list below).

"This number will increase during the day and we will keep you updated," said a spokesperson who added that letter and parcel deliveries are back to normal except in some localities where roads remain blocked.
