it is up to the private sector couriers/sat nav manufacturers to integrate it into their systems, for the private sector it is optional, however when the government spends 38 million of tax payers money on a post code system that is workable then the publicly owned national postal service should adopt it and use it,
Ahem.
Yes how is an eircode incorrect?
As you havent said anything other than "ahem" it is not clear what your point is?

In sum, the whole procurement process was a shambles and at the end of it Eircode is not fit for purpose.
But anyway my main point is that if we the taxpayer have had to shell out 38million for the system then the publicly owned postal service should be using it and working with eircode to iron out any problems with it.
Simple - the eircode location data is based on postal address information supplied by An Post.Yes how is an eircode incorrect?
Mrs Smith Ballybeg XYZ 123 is useless if its not next-door to XYZ 122
My dad once received a letter from one of his grandchildren addressed to 'Grandad, Ballybeg, Co Yadayada'.... and it was safely delivered!Mrs Smith's in Ballybeg you cannot know which Mrs. Smith a letter is for without also having the eircode
My understanding of what it does is assign a 6 digit code in 2 parts to every address. The first part, 3 digits, refers to a large geographical area say Limerick, the second part is uniquely identifies a specific address. The second part is completely random. So the two adjacent houses will share the same first 3 digits but there is no connection between the second set of 3 digits.
I don't understand how this can this benefit anyone.
