Here is yet more proof that Irish postmen are miracle workers

“Don’t know full address only he sings like Neil Diamond.”

LAST WEEK, WE marvelled over the fact that a letter addressed to “Your man Henderson” was delivered to the right person in Donegal.

We’ve seen that An Post will deliver anything with a stamp and some sort of address on it – anything – but this is taking the biscuit.

RTÉ reporter Sinéad Hussey recently discovered this letter ‘addressed’ to her father, Sean, which managed to make its way to his home in Longford:

Now I know Longford is a small place but this letter without an address reached my Dad! pic.twitter.com/SG89Us6q25

This envelope is even more scanty with the details than the Buncrana letter:

Mr Sean Hussey (Singer)
Longford

But the sender did include this handy note:

Don’t know full address only that he sings like Neil Diamond just heard him on Shannonside today. Jan 9th.

Neil Diamond, helping An Post workers make deliveries since January 2015.
