Hildegarde Naughton: -----here today is in relation to the issue around the Eircode system that was highlighted by an Coimisinéir Teanga. In good faith, the Department contacted An Post, which is in charge of the addresses that are given to Capita, addresses which have to align with the postal service. An Post said that it has to provide the English and the Irish versions and to keep them on its database...

Hildegarde Naughton: I can confirm that the 2018 to 2021 scheme was consulted on, including with the Coimisinéir Teanga, and no issue was raised with its provision. That provision was that the Department would put in place the necessary arrangements to ensure official placenames of Gaeltacht areas, as declared by the Minister in the Placenames (Centres of Population and Districts) Order 2005, would continue...

Hildegarde Naughton: Which is Capita. As the Deputy knows, GeoDirectory supplies the address to Capita. GeoDirectory is a subsidiary of An Post and it has to get it from An Post because Eircode postcodes have to align with the postal address system, which comes from An Post. That is the issue here. Again, the Department endeavoured-----

Hildegarde Naughton: I am open to getting the clarifications needed on this. As I said, it was important for me to come to the committee today to outline the position of An Post, which explains the reason the Eircode system has both English and Irish addresses on it. That is not to say it is satisfactory. I am not saying that. I completely concur with the members and that is why this is part of our engagement...

Hildegarde Naughton: This is where An Post would be able to clarify its own operations but my understanding is that the software detects the address and does the matching. Where an address is not matched, there are approximately 20 people who will manually go through letters to make sure they are delivered and An Post knows exactly where they are going. The software is one part of it but there are also staff...
