Capita Business Support Services Ireland, trading as Eircode, assigns Eircodes to new property addresses using a valid postal address and verified geo-locations. An Post collects information on all 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 (OSi), issue a new release of the GeoDirectory database file on a quarterly basis to Eircode in accordance with their licence agreement.

My officials have made contact with An Post and Capita and requested that they investigate changing the individual’s address. An Post have advised my officials that the individuals revised address data has been recorded in the latest An Post database which An Post GeoDirectory release to Eircode on a quarterly basis. Capita have also advised my officials that they have been in direct contact with the individual in question. Updated address information will be provided to Eircode by An Post GeoDirectory and made available by Capita on the Eircode Finder

(finder.eircode.ie/#/).
