Eircodes are assigned to new property addresses using a valid postal address and verified geo-locations. An Post collects information on new and existing buildings, as well as changes to existing addresses and Ordnance Survey Ireland provides the geo-locations for these buildings.  An Post GeoDirectory, a subsidiary company of An Post and Ordnance Survey Ireland, issue a new release of the GeoDirectory database file on a quarterly basis to Eircode in accordance with their licence agreement.

Each new address assigned an Eircode is published on the free to use Eircode Finder website and a notification letter issued to the occupant containing the Eircode of that address.

Eircode have advised me they have been in contact with the individual on a number of occasions regarding an Eircode for the new address and they have the contact details supplied. However on foot of your subsequent Parliamentary Question, I have requested Eircode to once again contact and liaise with the individual regarding the assignment of an Eircode to the new property address.
