An Postal services disrupted by staffing shortages

An Post says deliveries in some rural areas are being impacted by staffing shortages.

The company says a spike in Covid-related absences has placed a "temporary strain" on its resources.

It says the worst impact's being felt across its mails and parcels network, and at some Post Offices, with some having to temporarily shut.
