A spokesperson said: “An Post regrets to confirm that a serious matter has come to light in Dundalk.

An amount of mail was recently found at a location in the greater Dundalk area and the circumstances of the find are currently subject to an investigation by An Post and the Gardaí.

“Following initial examination at the scene by Gardai, the mail in question was returned to An Post.  It is now being delivered, together with an explanatory note which apologises for the inconvenience caused by the delay.”
