Eircodes, the national postcode system for Ireland, 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.

Legislation in order to address data protection elements of the project has been published and will be initiated in the Dail shortly.

I will announce the actual launch date for Eircodes in the next few weeks.
