Public Accounts Committee

2014 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources
Chapter 13 - The Development of Eircode, the National Postcode System

10:00 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

On that, I could go back to what the Joint Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources said in 2010, that what we will get from a postcode system is a system that will allow us to improve mechanisms to handle spatial data, improve targeting of government expenditure, facilitate emergency services - we mentioned the ambulance service earlier - provide new types of geographic based services, provide a unique address to all properties, greater development of e-commerce, a reduction in the cost of logistics and reduce data input for all businesses and administration.
