Postcodes/Zip codes
In general, Postcodes are not required.
The exception is Dublin and Cork city where a 1 or 2 digit zone number appears after the name of the city (eg Dublin 2). This number is shown after the street name (eg 25 Clare Street 2 = 25 Clare Street, Dublin 2).
How is mail sorted without a postcode?
Modern sorting machinery can read and process an entire 4 or 5 line address as rapidly as older systems could read a postcode. When an item first enters the sorting process the full address is scanned and a barcode is applied to the reverse side of the envelope. This barcode is a serial number for that item, and has no relationship to any postcode or address data. If the address is machine recognizable and matches with the national address database, the information is stored in a database of items in transit against its barcode serial number. If the address can't be machine read or matched to the address database, an image of the envelope is stored on disk. These images are subsequently displayed on VDUs for human beings to read and allocate address codes. These address codes are also stored under the barcode serial number for the item in question. At each stage of the sorting process, the barcode is read, the address information is looked up on the database for that item, and the package is routed to the appropriate sorting station for that stage of the sorting process.
This system is more user friendly (people don't have to remember and use long postcodes) and less prone to error (the entire address is machine read and verified - rather than relying on a single postcode which can easily be transposed causing an item to go to an incorrect delivery center, etc). It also provides a complete audit trail for the item from the time it enters the sorting system until it is passed to the postman or foreign postal administration.

The Post Code for Dublin will be created in 2008 as they don't have a postcode system.

Hi Incor, That is a very good question. Go to your post office and they should have a book for over sea's zip codes'.
