Errm, we don't have postcodes or zip codes in Ireland, apart from the Dublin postal districts, or whatever they're called (i.e. Dublin 4, Dublin 18 etc.)

I've put 0000, ----, or whatever it takes to make the on-line ordering system accept it on things for years and never had a problem with any of the couriers.

Not a good idea as you can get Codes such as "Wanker" "D0G FACE" or similar - good for joke I suppose

PON Codes are now a working system that can be easily used anywhere on the island of Ireland and can be tried out on Garmin Nuvi 700 series SatNav's - see www.irishpostcodes.ie

So there you go - as I projected - a National Post Code system was supposed to be introduced by Jan 2008. I have spent the last few hours searching through the budget estimates for 2009 as announced today and there is no apparant allocation for a National Post Code system in 2009 either. In fact, the Dept Of Comms budget in 2009 will be down by 13% - so definitely no obvious provision for the capital cost of a National System or for the compensatory costs suggested for An Post.
Outline capital estimates for 2010, also published today, show no obvious allocations either. In fact, as far as I can see, the last official (Government or Departmental) mention of a National Post Code system was in the Green Party statement on the programme for Government last December (2007). Looks like proposals for a National Post Code system have been well and truly shelved for now!

Just as well PON codes are in place - they do not require millions of capital expenditure to establish and they are ready to use..... www.irishpostcodes.ie and - at no cost to the state!
