It'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.
