All postal addresses, geographical addresses and geo-locations are provided to Eircode from authoritative sources, namely An Post and Tailte Éireann (Formerly Ordnance Survey Ireland) through their subsidiary company An Post GeoDirectory. An Post collects information on all new and existing buildings, as well as changes to existing addresses, and Tailte Éireann provides the geo-locations for these buildings.
Capita Business Support Services Ireland, trading as Eircode, assigns eircodes to new property addresses using a valid postal address and verified geo-locations.
While the use of the eircodes system is a very useful resource for identifying the location of a premises ordering a service such as broadband, an Eircode is not required to order a broadband service.
The eircode provided in the question is incorrect and therefore I cannot advise on the status of eircode regarding the inclusion on the GeoDirectory database. Please contact my officials via the DECC webform with the correct address details at secure.dccae.gov.ie/forms/NBP-Customer-Service.aspx and the issue can be looked at further.
