Rachel Mae HannonHOST
I think it's good because if you can't express yourself, like, through your words, you can express it through music.
Rachel Mae HannonHOST
Can I ask about the track with An Post?
speaker_3GUEST
Did it outside The Cabin, and then I was told we were going down to the GPO in, down on Albert Plunkett Street.
speaker_3GUEST
I was like, "Oh my God, we get to perform outside?" And we were performing outside, and there was, like, a crowd slowly gathering around, like, what are these kids doing?
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
Obviously, last week, we had the, uh, commemoration for those forty-eight, um, misfortunate people in Drumcolliher.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
Um, from a communications point of view, earlier in the week, I was meeting the new CEO of An Post, who have huge challenges, um, but are the, you know, singularly, uh, probably the most respected brand that there is in Ireland in terms of trust and, and communication with the, uh, day-to-day people of Ireland.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
And then in sport, like, you have the highs and lows, um, that, that, that you always have, but sport is a great unifier.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
Um, and we have a, a sports diplomacy document, which I launched there last year.
Ned BoultingHOST
...
Ned BoultingHOST
I mean, I think, you know, I think Sean Kelly, who, who, who kind of w- was instrumental in his career as a junior actually, because he raced for Sean's old An Post team.
Ned BoultingHOST
You know, Sean was always quite...
Ned BoultingHOST
I don't know whether I'm breaking confidence here, 'cause I can't remember whether it was on the record or off the record.
Gail ConwayGUEST
So, um, many shoppers will face an additional five euro fee for online purchases outside the U- EU later this year.
Gail ConwayGUEST
Um, An Post will have to implement those ch- charges, um, and in, in a statement last month, it said it's awaiting clarity around the charge.
Gail ConwayGUEST
It said it understands that a two euro administration fee will be introduced in November.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
Okay.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
It was needed to be a specific UK company.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
Uh, order was 50 pound sterling.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
Got the customs bill, import duty, three euro, VAT, nine euro 77, An Post admin fee, six ninety-five.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
So total customs charge, 19 euro 72 on a 50 pound order.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
Good morning to your listeners and good morning to Gerry as well.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
Look, I suppose as Minister for the Postal Service, you know, one of the few commemorative events that really stands out in Ireland is the ability to be able to issue a stamp.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
And 100 years after those 48 misfortunate people lost their lives in a most awful tragedy, it was lovely to have some of the family, the local community and the committee involved in front of the GPO, which is one of the most historic buildings in Ireland, for the launch of the stamp yesterday and later on this morning.
Patrick O'DonovanGUEST
We'll repeat the same exercise in Drumcolour for the local community who couldn't travel.
Marian QuinnGUEST
So we're very pleased that the family have been promoting that because, as I said, it is an expensive programme to run.
Marian QuinnGUEST
So On Post cover the postage and packaging for us, which is a massive investment from them and one we're always very grateful for.
Marian QuinnGUEST
And then because we... buy the books through the Imagination Library.
Marian QuinnGUEST
We get them at cost, but it still costs over 8,000 euros per month for us to deliver books to children in Dublin 24.
Oliver CallanHOST
[laughs] Yeah.
Donal SkehanGUEST
When you look out the window and the An Post van goes by.
Donal SkehanGUEST
That's what eagle-eyed viewers need to look out for.
Donal SkehanGUEST
[laughs]
Brendan O'ConnorHOST
So you were, uh, involved in giving out Dolly Parton's books in Ireland.
Graham FinlayPANELIST
Yeah, no, I have a, a small involvement with the Childhood Development Initiative in Tallaght, which is the home of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in Ireland, where we have given out 420,000 books to children in Tallaght, which arrive with the help of An Post, and there's a letter from Dolly in the first one.
Graham FinlayPANELIST
There's a letter from Dolly in the last one when they graduate at age five.
Graham FinlayPANELIST
That's about 5,000 books a month, uh, going out, and, uh, it's an amazing work, and it has a real, real effect on people.
RitaAUDIENCE
Scooby-Doo.
Jim JimHOST
True or false, the largest An Post sorting office is in d- in Dublin is in Kimmage?
RitaAUDIENCE
True?
Jim JimHOST
What Irish woman has a boxing match in Croker next week?
Jim JimHOST
Let's, let's, let's- ... to even explain it, Rita ... not worry, right? We're all good.
Jim JimHOST
Uh, a van called the Mystery Machine appears in what famous cartoon? The answer is Scooby-Doo.
Jim JimHOST
And true or false, the largest An Post sorting office is in Kimmage in Dublin? The answer is false.
ZainabHOST
What Irish woman has a big boxing match in Croker next week? See, we told you you'd get the sport question.
Grace WalshGUEST
No, it's fab.
Grace WalshGUEST
Um, and it's amazing because An Post sponsor the postage and packaging costs then as well, so there's a real kind of collaborative, um, uh, piece of work going on with lots of different people involved.
Grace WalshGUEST
But what's lovely is, um, the local children here are asking their parents, "Did the postman or did the postwoman land down with my book from Dolly Parton yet today, Mom?" Um, and they're kind of in preschool, and they're all getting the same books, and we run some parent-toddler groups here at Let's Grow Together, and it's happened on a few occasions that we might bring out a book as part of the group, and all of the kids and the parents recognize the book 'cause they've all received it maybe.
PJ CooganHOST
Mm.
