At the introduction of Eircode, the relevant Eircodes for the various locations of my Department and its offices were circulated to all staff who were instructed to use these in all correspondence going forward.  In addition, our website has been updated to include Eircode and as stocks of stationery are depleted, replacement printed material includes Eircode information. Where an Eircode has been provided by a correspondent with my Department, the Eircode will be used in future correspondence to that address. Our ICT systems include vacant fields that were utilised to incorporate Eircodes without any development costs. The changes outlined incurred no additional cost to my Department.
