I thank the Deputy for his comments. The frustrations around the address system are clear and the fact that the address has to be in both languages. I commit to engaging again with the Department and the Coimisinéir Teanga on this. What we want to do is resolve these issues in the immediate term and in looking at the next contract. The feedback will be very important for the drafting of that and I know officials are acutely listening. We endeavour to make sure the Irish language is represented in relation to Eircodes, that people can get their mail addressed in the language of their preference. That is what I commit to today. I will go back and talk to an Coimisinéir Teanga again about how we can progress this.
