Delivery tips for Dublin
- 1
Many Dublin homes are terraced houses or older flats with several doorbells, so include the flat number and the name on the bell.
- 2
Rain is frequent in Dublin, so wrap flowers and cards in waterproof packaging.
- 3
Dublin postcodes use letters and numbers called Eircodes, so give the full Eircode if the recipient knows it.
- 4
Traffic can be heavy at rush hour, so Helpers often rely on buses, trams or commuter rail; agree a flexible time window.
- 5
On big parade and match days, parts of the city centre are crowded or closed to traffic, so plan extra time for deliveries.
Gift etiquette
A friendly, casual tone is often preferred, and many people appreciate a warm handwritten note.
Many people in Ireland offer a cup of tea to a visitor, so a Helper may be invited in; it is fine to politely decline.
If you are unsure about taste or diet, a card and flowers are a safe choice.
