    How did you get on?

    We are currently looking at moving into a new build apartment complex in Santry. It has an eircode however the connection is showing as red on their system meaning it has not yet been made live by openeir (which i was told can take up to a year following creation of eircode)..

    After registering an official complaint with the DECC in the middle of July, the whole thing was very swiftly resolved within a fortnight! However, in our specific case we were live and connected via the DECC, but not on the NBI map, which a rep from NBI said was likely due to someone not forwarding on the details they should have. I'm not sure if the same whoopsie would apply to your situation. We will be living here a year next month and there are many services we can still not avail of as our Eircode doesn't exist, example a Tesco delivery.

    Plenty of developers do. I'm waiting on a new build and I had the Eircode before the foundations were even finished. Each property in the entire phase is already on the Eircode map even though it wont be ready for 6 + months.

    It should be a criteria of the planning permission that the Eircode application is made when construction gets underway tbh. Mortgage lenders often require it as do insurers and we can see there are serious issues with service providers when one isn't available. The developer shouldn't be allowed hand over the property and take final payment until the Eircode is assigned. You can be sure it would be sorted fairly lively if that was the practice.

    Just to help anybody who comes across this thread .The DECC are useless and i spent nearly a full year arguing with them

    The best person to contact is your local broadband officer with you local city/county council .They have direct contact with KN and could find out when your area is due to have cabling etc done

    You might like the answer but keep pushing them and send a letter to evert TD in your local area .They can raise it in the Dail and EIR have to respond to them with a update
