I thank the Acting Chairman and welcome the witnesses. Mr. Tuohy may not be able to answer my question on implementation because Capita has the contract. How long will it take to implement this? What kind of interaction with the public is required? I am sure some people will use a normal address and leave out the postcode because that is how they have always done it. Will letters be returned if postcodes are not used?

The witnesses mentioned that there are many gaps between houses in Ireland and that using a number system would require changes. How was this done in the UK? They are still building in the UK so I am curious.
