    So does the rest of the country but by far the most important thing about this news is that Cork will get a new postcode system.

    Link.
    As one of the only countries in the OECD not to have a postcode system Ireland will now become one of the first in the world to have a public database of unique identifiers for all properties in the State.


    I hope the new 7 character postal system for Cork is something like 'CORK 001' or something like 'CIRN 001' (Cork Is Really Nice 001). The 001 will make us sound pure important like, a bit like James Bond but better like, dowtcha boy!!!

    Great news for Cork feens and beoirs, I'm off out to buy a bottle of Tanora, UP THE REBELS, watcha all think about it like?

    In celebration of this fact I'm going to utilise the new postcodes and write a letter to every Cork resident to tell them how much the rest of the country dislikes them.

    Taxman will be happy! :pac:

    The sample they just showed on the news is

    237 The Rise
    Tullamore
    Co Offaly
    A65 B2CD

    Apparently the A65 is the postal district, and the rest is for the individual dwelling. They're saying it will make it easier for emergency services to find places. How long will it take for SatNavs to recognise them?

    Edit: Or you could just read all that in the OP's link...

    Can't agree. Postal folks literally have to get mail to e.g. John Murphy, Ballybejaysus, Co. Longford.

    It's grand for urban addresses all right - surely the number, street name, area should suffice, but badly needed for rural addresses.

    You, personally, need a postcode.

    "County Ireland", indeed.:pac:

    Does this mean I will have to change my postcode from 000 0000, which I have entered on every single Internet page which ever insisted on a non-existant postcode?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    One of my friends in the UK, confused at no post codes here sent some cd's to me ,
    T** *******
    Rush fan

    at last it might force couriers to do their jobs, especially in rural areas.

    Preview of tomorrow's thread from the OP.


    Outrage as Cork residents discover that Property Tax, Water Charges, and proposed Broadcasting Charge applies to us too Boyos.

    Well, Apparently in many cases ambulance drivers in rural areas looking for a house in an emergency have to stop and look for directions. Hopefully the new system will put an end to things like this.

    Meh, beats bills.

    I read this post as "meatballs"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I hear it will be numbers based - like Cork 1, Cork 2 etc.


    Dublin city will be re-designated Cork 75.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,884 ✭✭✭spank_inferno

    It's May be grand for you because your still living in 1982 and probably don't venture very far from your house but it's not grand for emergency services, postal services, courier services, Sat Nav systems etc etc

    ...and how are they confusing? You do realize that you don't have to actually try and decipher them in order to determine the address they apply to! They're simply a code which pin points a location, what's confusing about that!

    Couldn't have put it better myself! You saved me a bit of typing there.

    Most important, I think Kerry should get the post code system first...By god that place is sparse!

    I just hope the people who get the thankless task of thinking these codes up will be paid well.
