Delivery firms refuse to use new postcode system

The introduction of Ireland’s new postcode service will be as problematic as Irish Water, some of the country’s biggest transport delivery firms confirmed.

The Freight Transport Association of Ireland said the planned new Eircode service would be “useless” to its members.

The association told the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications the introduction of Eircode would be a significant cost on small and medium businesses for no tangible benefit.
