Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 September 2016
1955. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the efforts his Department and agencies under its remit have made to use Eircode when communicating with households via An Post; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25868/16]
View answerSince its introduction in July 2015, Eircode has been incorporated into written and electronic communications from this Department, and into the Department’s databases and web-sites on an on-going basis as the need arises.
Recent stationery orders have included the Department’s Eircode and plans are in place to continue this practice with future orders.
Staff members have been advised to use the Department’s Eircode where appropriate i.e. within contact details on emails and letters.
While communication with households in general is conducted by the Department rather than the Defence Forces, the form for the Register of Electors for Defence Force members for Postal Votes was amended in August 2015 to include the requirement for an Eircode.
