Is there a post code for Ireland and what is it.?

Question

To register for yahoo mail it needs a post code and will not proceed without.

Answer 1

As we do not have postcodes just put a full stop into the slot where it asks for a postcode. I get my classes to sign up for Yahoo mail regularly and this is what we do. Make sure to use the drop-down menu to select Ireland at Preferred Content in the top left if you want a .ie address. For some reason the new sign-up form does not always work the first time the data is submitted and when you click Create E-mail at the end it just reverts to the Yahoo homepage. If this happens just fill out the form again and submit - it always seems to work the second time!

Postal addresses in Ireland are similar to those in many other parts of the world. Currently there is no national post code system. However, Dublin is divided into postal districts, under a system which was similar to that used in cities elsewhere in Europe until the introduction of postcode systems in the 1960s and 70s.

At the time, Ireland did not follow suit, and An Post did not introduce automated sorting machines for mail until the 1990s. By then, the introduction of new technology, known as optical character recognition (OCR), meant that machines could “read” whole addresses, as opposed to just postcodes. Consequently, mail to addresses in the rest of the Republic does not require any digits after the address.

An Post has argued that a nationwide public postcode system is unnecessary, describing it as “a 1960s solution to a 21st century problem”. that it would be expensive and that its existing system is superior. Concerns were also expressed by traditionalists that postcodes would undermine the use of historic townland names. (Royal Mail in the UK approached the problem of postcodes in rural Northern Ireland by naming previously unnamed roads after the townlands through which they passed, and assigning numbers to houses. The naming of roads was initially refused by Fermanagh District Council, resulting in a solution (unsatisfactory to some) of a postcode being assigned to each townland.) However, courier services and direct mail companies complained that the absence of such a system put Ireland at a disadvantage compared with other European countries.

Those advocating an Irish postcode system point out that many people living in rural (and even some urban) areas share the same postal address. This becomes particularly confusing when there are people of the same surname living at different addresses within the same rural townland. This also creates problems for delivery drivers, the emergency services and any visitors unfamilliar to an area trying to find an address (especially since in such areas it is rare for roads to be named or houses numbered, and limited signage indicating where townlands begin and end.)

Answer 4

In Ireland we do not have postcodes. They dont exist and never have, you just send the letter the old fashioned way and the last line of the address should be a county (.. eg.. Co.Longford) The Only thing that resembles a postcode in Ireland would be the dublin area where you have Dublin 1, 2, 3, etc..... Hope this helps ii337 --- Bt directory is for the UK. Dublin is in IRELAND and hench the BT directory is as good as trying to make an egg square
