Yes. In September 2021 the implementation report presented to the Oireachtas acknowledged that the Department made a genuine effort to implement all seven recommendations. The issue raised by the Coimisinéir Teanga was the official placenames of Gaeltacht areas appearing in Irish only in the Eircode system. That is why the Department contacted An Post on the English names and I might let Mr. King in on this point. Capita receives the information relating to Eircodes from GeoDirectory, which is a subsidiary of An Post. The addresses that Capita requires come from An Post and it has to align with the postal delivery service. An Post says it has to have the English and Irish addresses on its sorting system and on its software in the mail sorting office in order to align with a letter and match it. That was the issue that was raised by the commissioner.
