Post-Codes Campaign!

pog it

A new postcode system like they have in USA and abroad is to be brought in to Ireland and is being formulated and planned right now.

Conradh na Gaeilge are asking the Minister for Communications, Eamon Ryan, to base this new postcode system on official Irish placenames, not only within Gaeltacht areas, but throughout the country. At the moment it is looking like they will be based on a filtered down/shortened version of the English placenames.

Conradh na Gaeilge have provided the text of an email for people who would like to write to or email Eamon Ryan. The link to this email and more information on the campaign is on Conradh na Gaeilge's website here:

Or if you don't have time to download it from there, here is the text for copy and pasting:

A Aire, a chara,
Ba mhaith liom a chur in iúl mo mhian go mbeadh cóid phoist na hÉireann bunaithe ar leagan Gaeilge na logainmneacha. Measaim go mbeadh cóid phoist bunaithe ar fhoirm ghiorraithe den logainm Béarla amháin ina mhasla do theanga dhúchais na tíre seo, gan trácht ar a bheith glan in aghaidh bheartas dátheangach an Rialtais agus bheartas an Aontais Eorpaigh atá meáite ar mhionteangacha a chothú agus a neartú.
Tuigim nach bhfuil aon ní i moladh an Bhoird um Thionscnamh na bPostchóid Náisiúnta a chuirfeadh in aghaidh bhunú na bpostchóid ar leagan oifigiúil an logainm i nGaeilge "I gcás baile atá lonnaithe sa Ghaeltacht" ach ba mhaith liom dearbhú a fháil uait go mbeidh leagan Gaeilge na logainmneacha ina mbunús do na cóid phoist taobh amuigh den Ghaeltacht leis.
Ag súil le freagra uait go luath,

Is mise, le meas,
