Ireland set for new postcode system
A new postcode system for Ireland is proposed by the commission for communications regulation in order to reduce confusion about addresses and to make the sorting of post more efficient.
An Post is opposed to a post code system because they say Ireland’s population is too small and scattered.
But the code is backed by ESB, banks and emergency services. Local postmarks are set to disappear as An Post is creating 4 main sorting hubs in Cork, Dublin, Athlone and Portlaoise.
It is thought that this will ensure an even better level of delivery. According to today’s report in the Sunday Times,
An Post is considering introducing postal districts in Cork as an aid to sorting mail.
