I propose to take Questions Nos. 534 and 537 together.
Since the Eircode launch, Capita, the Postcode Contractor, has signed up a total of 28 Eircode Value Added Re-sellers who provide a broad spectrum of Eircode specialist services to business including, location based applications for logistics/deliveries sector, address validation, database cleansing, address look ups and a range of spatial analytic applications.
I understand that one of the Value Added Re-sellers recently launched a free-to-use Eircode app for use on Apple and Android devices. This App is a useful way to find Eircodes, share precise address locations and get directions using the Eircodes.
The development of apps and products by Value Added Re-sellers is a matter for the individual company.
Information in relation to new or innovative Eircode related services is placed on my Department's website in order to increase awareness and promote usage of Eircodes amongst the public.
