Eircode was designed to exclude An Post competitors, claim opponents

A group representing freight and courier firms has claimed a design report for Eircode shows the national postcode project has been structured to meet the requirements of An Post, "to the exclusion of its competitors".

The Freight Transport Association of Ireland represents delivery and logistics companies — all of which have declared that they will not use Eircode due to its design.

Eircode’s design will see every address in the country given a seven character postcode.
