On an afternoon in March five years ago, a small team of six people packed into a cramped office room in central Dublin’s Winetavern Street assigned the final Eircode to Ireland’s 2,277,037 addresses. It was Friday 13th. But despite the ominous date, Pat Donnelly, who had led the team over four years developing the world’s first national postcode system to identify every individual address in a country was elated.
Minimum order for an organisation allows up to ten users to find up to 10,000 addresses between them per annum. You can save an address as a favourite or delivery and re-use repeatedly without incurring additional credit costs.
Credit packs expire and must be renewed when all credits have been used or after 12 months, whichever is sooner.
The Autoaddress Eircode App Licence includes the required Eircode End User Licence Agreement from Capita Business Support Services Ireland Limited.

For us, Eircode was one of the stories that defined 2015. Since its launch it is now so widely used in Ireland it’s hard to recall what life was like before it. Let’s take a look back at 2015 and all the other things happening that year.
It's the 5th Anniversary of Eircode this month! We wanted to show you a timeline of how Eircode came to be and how Autoaddress made it happen.
It’s been a great five years with Eircode, and we’re looking forward to many more. We’ve had the chance to work across varied industries and have had the opportunity to help so many improve not only their business, but also their lives. In honor of that, we wanted to reflect on a few projects and insights that we think best capture the importance of Eircode (and a few surprises along the way!).
This month, Autoaddress celebrates the Eircode’s 5th anniversary. The creation and introduction of the Eircode was revolutionary for Irish addressing. Before 2015, Ireland was one of the few developed countries that didn't have a defined postal system. Throughout Ireland there are approximately 800,000 non-unique addresses – meaning that they have no house name or number.
Creating an exceptional eCommerce experience is crucial to any brand’s success. Complicated checkout pages can lead to abandoned carts and consumers frequently won’t return to a retailer if they experience a frustrating checkout or delivery delays – even when the retailer is not at fault.

The creation and introduction of the Eircode was a game-changer for Irish addressing. Before 2015, Ireland was one of the few developed countries that didn't have a defined postal system. Part of the complexity involved the fact that over 35% of properties share their address with at least one other property.
