An Post shows support for THE GATHERING IRELAND 2013

An Post is pleased to be working with The Gathering Ireland 2013 to distribute a mailshot containing two specially designed postcards to 1.8 million households in Ireland this November. Families in Ireland are encouraged to post the cards to family and friends overseas to invite them to visit Ireland for the Gathering Ireland in 2013.

The initiative is an important part of the Gathering campaign to encourage the sending of invitations to the four corners of the world. Everyone is being asked to use these postcards to send a message to family, friends and loved ones abroad and invite someone home next year for the Gathering Ireland 2013.

Speaking at the announcement Joe Duffy said, “I’m delighted to be here today to launch the Gathering Ireland 2013 postcard initiative. I got in touch with the Gathering about this idea early in 2012 and I’m delighted to see it come to fruition. I think it’s a simple and effective way to reach out to people and encourage them to get involved. We all know someone, be it family or a friend, who lives abroad and this simple idea will help make it easier for people to reach out to them and invite them home.  The Gathering depends on Irish people getting behind it and I would like to encourage people to put the postcards to good use and be part of the Gathering in 2013”.
