Save over €40 million on a Planned Irish Government Postcode - A Solution already exists
Eamon RyanTD, one of the Greens in the Irish Government, is planning to spend up to €20 million on introducing a postcode that is already 2 years overdue. The proposed Government system will only guide a satnav user to the centre of a townland even if that is on top of a mountain or in the middle of a lake.
On the 29th of January last, he also announced that he is now about to employ his 3rd set of consultants in 4 years to help him with the plans. The last set of consultants said that An Post would have to be paid €27 million to help them support something they do not need and even though it will not solve non unique addressing problems.
There is no need to spend this money. There is already a solution developed by an Irish Company which has been tested on Garmin SatNavs and will allow navigation to individual properties everywhere in Ireland...and all at a fraction of the cost of the Government's system. PON Codes are ready to go!
Sign here to stop the Irish Government wasting scarce money on introducing a system that will be of no value to anyone using Irish roads - commercial vehicles, visitors, tourists an ambulance driver or even local people just trying to get to new places!

If it doesnt bring you to the door then what is the point? absolute joke of a plan.
GARMIN already has the solution ready to go. why reinvent the wheel and throw millions in the bin? stop the madness.
total waste of cash. Eamon Ryan needs to wake up and see that we have better things to spend 40 million on than some useless system that doesnt even work properly.
sick of this government wasting our tax money. common sense is dead.
my brother is a delivery driver and he says this new plan is going to be a nightmare. listen to the people who actually use the roads!!

Ridiculous. Why are we paying consultants for something that isnt even going to fix the problem? Use the Irish solution and save the money for the health service.
