Postcode issued in name of dead man

Eircode has been branded a “disgrace” after a postcode was issued in the name of a man’s recently deceased father.

Furthermore, Eircode issued a second letter with a different postcode to the same house in Kilkenny, addressed to the man’s mother.

The incident raises a number of questions around the assurances given to the public following the launch of the postcode system last Monday.
