  • Napoli (80XXX)
  • Modena (41XXX)

Ireland

Nationwide strike and protests affecting parcel operations
A planned 24-hour strike by Ireland's public service unions and nationwide protests on 14 October may lead to disruptions across the Irish parcel network. As a result, collections and deliveries may be delayed.
