The Government is fully committed to introducing Eircodes, the national postcode system for Ireland. The Eircode project is currently in the implementation phase and is on target to be launched this summer. Every Irish address, residential and business, will be sent a notification by post this summer with the eircode enclosed.

Eircode is a major new development for Ireland and priority has been placed on ensuring that there is widespread public understanding of how Eircodes will work – and of the benefits they will bring to households and businesses – before and during the introduction of the codes.

I will be announcing the actual launch date for Eircodes in the next few weeks. For further information and updates you may wish to visit the website .
