364. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the cost of upgrading information technology systems and databases to incorporate the use of Eircode; if the use of Eircode is mandatory in his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8637/17]
View answerMy Department has not incurred any costs in the upgrading of Information Technology Systems or Databases to incorporate the use of Eircode.
Since the introduction of Eircode in 2015, my Department has incorporated the use of Eircodes into all departmental/office addresses on new stationery, in email signatures and on our website. In addition, Eircodes are included in all publications, presentations and other corporate communications. My Department will, as appropriate, continue to incorporate Eircode into new systems, forms and processes as they are developed.
