Mr. Mark Griffin:
They have started using it since about last October. It has gone out in approximately 800,000 pieces of correspondence from the Revenue Commissioners. The Department of Social Protection, DSP, issues in the region of 400,000 pieces of Eircode-enabled correspondence per month. ESB-Electric Ireland will start issuing electricity bills with codes from next Monday. I think approximately 20,000 bills as part of its 650,000 billing cycle.
