In December 2013 a ten-year contract with Capita Business Support Services Ireland Limited was signed under which the company will develop, roll-out and operate the National Postcode System following a public procurement process.

The design of the Postcode was approved by Government last April and the ‘Eircode’ brand was launched for the National Postcode System on 28 April. Information about Eircodes is now available on .

The project is currently in the implementation phase and is scheduled to roll out nationwide by the middle of 2015. Every Irish address will receive a unique Eircode.
