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.
The codes are only used in full 7-character format. See: www.eircode.ie for more information. See also Republic of Ireland postal addresses. Isle of Man: 31 December 1993 IM: CCN NAA, CCNN NAA UK-format postcode. The first two letters are always IM. Israel: 1 February 2013 IL: NNNNNNN
The list of Eircode routing key areas in Ireland is a tabulation of the routing key areas used by An Post and other mail delivery services for the purposes of directing mail within Ireland. A routing key area "defines a principal post town" [1] according to An Post. There are currently 139 routing key areas in the country.
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 .
Upon the establishment of the Irish Free State and later, the Republic of Ireland, the Irish government retained the designation and today it forms part of the Eircode system, a postcode format slightly different from the UK format and identifying individual addresses.
