Until now a letter posted somewhere in County Cork to Blarney, for example, would have gone to the Cork mail centre and then sent to Blarney. Now it will go to Athlone or Portlaoise and come all the way back down. Presumably, in the course of a year there would be hundreds of thousands or millions of such letters. Not one single truck is electric, it is all done using diesel trucks.
