Mr. Dunne
All prize bonds purchased during the March/April issue period will be forwarded to the purchasers as soon as possible after the Bank of Ireland resumes normal services.
Draws will be made as soon as feasible in respect of all months which have been missed but the draw in respect of the month of July and subsequent months will not be held until all bonds purchased in March/April have been issued as such bonds will become eligible for inclusion in the draws from July onwards.
