Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

National Postcode System: (Resumed) Discussion

10:10 am

Mr. Liam O'Sullivan:

I have been involved a long time in the postal industry. The other countries that have not adopted a unique code took the decision to name and number every street and thoroughfare. With a figure of 35% for non-unique addresses, where streets are not numbered or named, having a unique identifier is the solution. We have almost 5,000 people carrying out deliveries on the highways and byways every day and a regular feature for us is our competitors stopping our postpersons to look for directions. We are always very helpful and not afraid of competition-----
