Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 May 2015
519. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide an update on the proposed postal codes; when the postcode will be operational; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19639/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraEircodes, the national postcode system for Ireland, is currently in the implementation phase and is on target to be launched this summer. Every Irish address, residential and business, will be sent a notification by post this summer with the eircode enclosed.
Legislation in order to address data protection elements of the project has been published and will be initiated in the Dáil shortly.
I will announce the actual launch date for Eircodes in the next few weeks.
