128. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when will postcodes be introduced here. [6318/13]
View answerIt is Government policy to introduce postcodes. The procurement process to select a postcode management licence holder to implement a National Postcode System began in 2011 with the publication of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire on www.etenders.gov.ie. That process is still ongoing, and it is expected to conclude in the first half of 2013. The final decision to proceed with implementation of a national postcode will be one for Government and will be based on appropriate financial, technical and operational considerations.
