Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 May 2006
101 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if he intends to issue guidelines in regard to the use of postcodes with particular reference to excluding the use of socio-economic or personal information; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20740/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraFollowing from the recommendations of the Working Group report on postcodes, I asked the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) to appoint project managers to support the postcode project by providing technical and economic advice including assessing the costs and benefits of the introduction of a postcode. The terms of reference for the project managers stipulate that the code be structured spatially and consequently the code will not be based on any socio-economic or personal information.
