We have saved our childrens allowance in An Post 5 year saving certs since they were born (8 years ago), but need access to that money now. Some have matured and we have re-invested them in the same 5 year saving certs. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to cash them in now. I assume there will be penalties involved. Would anyone know how significant they are?

Thanks.
