Post in Irish Republic delayed for second day by pay dispute
Postal deliveries in the Irish Republic are being delayed for the second day in succession.
The delays are due to industrial action by members of the Irish Postmasters’ Union.
Almost 600 postmasters and postmistresses are refusing to sort mail.
They’re involved in a row over payment made for the job.
Deliveries from sub-post offices have been held up for as much as two hours.
A spokesman says the action will continue indefinitely.
Backlogs of undelivered post are expected to build up by the end of the week.
Both sides in the dispute say there are no plans for further negotiations.
Talks broke down late last week.
