User:Stoca/Irish National Post Codes

There are no National Postcodes in Ireland at present (Northern Ireland has a system introduced in the 1970's by the UK Government and the Royal Mail)
 * A plan to introduce postcodes in Ireland by Jan 2008 has been significantly delayed.
 * On Jan 29 2010 the Department Of Communications Issued a Tender to select consultants to assist in deciding on the way forward.
 * A debate in the Irish Parliament (The Dáil) in early 2010 indicates that the nature of the postcode to be introduced will be decided as part of a tender competition.
 * However, it has also been indicated that a Location Code and GPS related coordinates should be part of the implemented system.
