Post offices around the country will be closed for an hour tomorrow as part of an EU-wide protest agains the liberalisation of the postal market.

A statement issued by An Post this morning apologised to customers and said the closure would last one hour from 1pm.

Normal counter services will resume as normal from 2.00pm on Wednesday.

An EU-wide umbrella group, UNI-Europa Postal, has called for support of a petition opposed to the liberalisation of the postal service.
