Chapter 13 - The Development of Eircode, the National Postcode System

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I would not accept that for a second. I do not know who has said that to you about the lack of accuracy. On the Sean O'Rourke show the other morning, there was an individual called Gareth Daly who is a film producer and who runs media production company in the midlands. He has had ongoing problems with contracts, scripts and so on being mislaid and not arriving in the post. He said that he would give Eircode a shot just before Christmas and has not had a problem since. He asked the delivery guy how he found him and the guy said if he just put the details into the Eircode finder and he got there.
