The launch of a national postcode system (Eircode, Irish: éirchód [8]) in Ireland began on 28 April 2014. [9] The system incorporates the existing numbered Dublin postal districts as part of the routing key. [10] [11] Eircode provides a unique postcode for each address. [12] The codes, known as Eircodes, consist of seven characters.
Although Ireland's routing key areas take a similar format to postcode areas in the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland), they are not intended as a mnemonic for a county or city name, except for those used in the historic Dublin postal districts. Several towns and townlands can share the same routing key. [3]
The pre-existing Dublin district numbers are a component of the full postcode for relevant addresses, forming part of the routing code, the first three characters of the code. For example, a code for an address in Dublin 1 would start with D01 , followed by four characters, hence Dublin D01 B2CD .
The UK postcode is made up of two parts separated by a space. These are known as the outward postcode and the inward postcode. The outward postcode is always one of the following formats: AN, ANN, AAN, AANN, ANA, AANA, AAA. The inward postcode is always formatted as NAA. A valid inward postcode never contains the letters: C, I, K, M, O or V.
