The Government has now approved the implementation of a postcode system as recommended by the National Postcode Project Board.
The model recommended, and since approved by Government, is an alpha-numeric, publicly available and accessible postal sector model.
Following the Government's approval of the implementation of a national postcode system for Ireland as recommended by the National Postcodes Project Board, my officials and I have been working to address the next steps in this project. A competition was launched last month to select a body that will assist the Department in managing the delivery of a working postcodes system. That delivery will be undertaken by way of a competitive tender process.
