News Q&A: Eircode applies a unique postcode to every address

Over the next two weeks, every residential and business address in Ireland will receive a letter in the post informing them of the new Eircode for that address.

An Eircode is a seven-character code, consisting of three characters for your geographical area, and four characters for your address.
