Capita Business Support Services Ireland, trading as Eircode, assigns Eircodes to new property addresses using a valid post-town, postal address and verified geo-locations. The underpinning property information required to assign an Eircode is provided by authoritative sources, namely An Post who collect information on all new and existing buildings, as well as changes to existing addresses and Ordnance Survey Ireland provides the geo-locations for these buildings.
Eircodes, as postal infrastructure, are assigned to properties that are identified by a postal address and geo-location and as such not assigned to other features, such as land holdings.
