A Loctaion based code uses coordinates - what the Minister is proposing is a traditional postcode - i.e. a database with addresses and related codes. Refining it to be a "Location based code" - is not a reality - by adding a lot of extra characters it can add a code to very property but which property and where it is would not be known as 40% of properties do not have unique id's?
The Minister is getting confused on issues relating to "Location Based" matters. Perhaps he should consult with home grown experts on such matters - a company used by many other state agencies - GPS Ireland Consultants Ltd in Cork - www.gpsireland.ie - they would be able to clarify matters relating to position and Location.
