Certainly, and the Department is working on it. I just got some figures which show that the percentage of requests for an Eircode for existing addresses is answered within five days.

I am told that for 2020 the output target is 99% and that we are on target in that regard. The percentage of new addresses allocated an Eircode within five weeks is also 99% and, again, we are on target. The quarterly experience referenced by Deputy Cathal Crowe is unusual. It is the one in 100 unfortunate example. In 99% of cases an Eircode is provided within five weeks.
