Post boxes are red in Northern Ireland and green in the South (Republic). Royal mail collects letters from the red ones while an post collects letters from the green ones.

when england ruled ireland the post box's were red ,when ireland got Independence they were painted green


Orla C
All post boxes in the Republic of Ireland are green. Postboxes in Northern Ireland are red, because Northern Ireland is still officially part of the United Kingdom.

Red are in the UK/N. Ireland and green are in the Republic. They are the same post boxes, just painted green in the Republic.

english post boxes r 2 do wif the english queen

irish post boxes r 2 do wif the irish government

Green postboxes are for recycled materials like plastics etc. That's how we get rid of our rubbish.
Red postboxes are for hazardous waste.
