An Post is one of the intended users of the EirCode system. I'm tempted to try a letter or postcard to the eircode, just to see if it gets delivered.
e.g.
Name

Ireland also makes it reasonably common that you won't have a number in the address.
Someone
Foo House
Town
Co Meath
Ireland
Is a perfectly reasonable and somewhat common address.
- donalhunt 4y agoIt's actually quite amazing that Ireland survived without postcodes for so long. The following format is probably the most common: Name Townland Co. County Ireland Townlands could have 200+ people. Maybe more in some areas.
- wiredfool 4y agoOh definitely, my townland is at least a couple of estates, at 100+ houses each. And then there are the creatively named estates, where the whole street name is stop words. One near me has "[number] The Avenue", "The Court", "The Close", "The Drive". Townlands are optional, or it can be the name of a large road near you. I think there are at least 3 addresses corresponding to my house that are used by official government mail, one of the things that EirCodes were supposed to prevent.
