Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
1478. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he will amend the address associated with a new Eircode (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41600/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraCapita Business Support Services Ireland, trading as Eircode, was awarded a 10 year contract in December 2013 to develop, implement and maintain the National Postcode System "Eircode".
Eircode does not change existing addresses and can simply be added to the address normally used for the property. This address can be the most commonly used address, postal address or/and the geographical address. The free to use online Eircode Finder (www.eircode.ie/) app provides both the geographical and postal addresses for properties in the state. In addition, the Eircode address database includes multiple common variations of addresses used for properties with the Eircode appended.
My Department referred the issue raised in the Question to Eircode who have stated that the Eircode database does not contain an address which displays as “Cloneyhague, Ballynagore, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath”.
Residents who have queries relating to Eircodes can contact Eircode by phone on 0818 300 005, email hello@eircode.ie or by post to Capita Business Support Services Ireland Ltd, Block C, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, W23 F854.
