What is the cost of the "Litir um Thogchan" to the state?

    My college project revolves around my analysing the marketing communications of politicians and the political parties during this election. Part of this involves examination of the Litir um Thogchan which is the the A5 sized leaflet that comes into your door, addressed to you.

    Electoral Law allows candidates to send, free of charge, a letter to each person on the electoral register.

    My question is who foots the bill? I know that candidates don't pay for it (besides printing costs for the leaflet) and I also know that An Post don't deliver items for free. I'm really interested in finding out what the State pays An Post (if anything) to allow candidates the privilege of communicating with everyone on the register.

    The area of research will focus on how such materials are perceived by constituents in both rural and urban areas and whether or not that have any influence whatsoever in voting preferences.

    Regards,
    Adam
