I recently received a delayed envelope with a label from an post saying it was delayed due to incorrect postal address however the eircode which is meant to be an individual postal reference for each building was clearly written on the envelope so I rang An Post to see why this was delayed (as delayed post this is a common problem in our area as there are 2 villages with the same name, I thought that eircode would finally sort this out)
I was told by the An Post official that An Post are not using Eircodes as they did not win the tender for the postal code system - this is the most ridiculous nonsense I have ever heard - that a postal code system has been put in place and the national post service is disregarding it when it is written on a posted item.
Also I recently bought prizebonds and the eircode was left off the postal address, so I wonder how many other Gvot depts are choosing not to use the system
