Where does An Post invest the above funds.?
Some of the money is used by the NTMA to fund day-to-day govt. operations and govt. capital expenditure.

Is there any way of checking investment performance.?
Are you talking about the An Post savings term deposits? Your return is fixed.

are all funds only available to Government.?
For some of their products most of the funds are available to the NTMA to utilise.

i'm looking into an post bond and cert as one option, but i am a bit wary of the security since government gurantee will expire in oct 2010. if i deposit money for 3 years fixed, not sure what is going to happen after that date.

Your 3 year term deposit is state guaranteed.

An Post savings are 100% state guaranteed with no expiry date.

That expression is probably inaccurate in this climate An Post Bonds and Certs are much safer than houses
