I have listened with interest to the views of the witnesses and I am trying to understand the difficulties they say will present. To take a practical example, most of us buy stuff over the Internet nowadays. Next year, if I buy a new laptop I will go online to find one. I will order it and put in my address and new Eircode. UPC or another such company will deliver the parcel to my house a couple of days later. Mr. Smith has said the postcode will not be any assistance to his company. I presume each freight company has its own IT system or delivery system. Mr. Smith has said deliveries are organised by street, address or business and they are done in a certain order according to existing postcodes. He said the new Eircode system will not assist him and that he will still have to use the street address of the house or business in order to make the physical delivery.
