Post Office instant query

Hi

Can anyone tell me if the Post Office Instant account (Bank of Ireland) is safe, please? (As in so far as any UK one would be at present).

I've trawled through the posts and am still confused, so thought I would ask some kind soul.

Thank you.

    But the UK Post Office admitted it had seen a rise in business for accounts it operates jointly with Bank of Ireland.
    The Post Office, which has 16,000 branches, offers special deals to members of the Army. This means that the Irish government has unintentionally ended up giving a guarantee to the savings of British soldiers.
