View answerMy Department has carried out a review of its name and address databases to identify the amendments required in those computer systems to accommodate the use of Eircodes. Arising from this review, work is ongoing in implementing measures to integrate the use of Eircodes into the work of my Department.
The efforts employed by bodies under the aegis of my Department to use Eircode are part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies concerned. The various bodies have been asked to respond direct to the Deputy within the timelines set out in Standing Orders.
