    When Labour (especially Rabbitte & White) , DCENR, CWU, SIPTU, & Capita PLC conspire to hijack national infrastructure we get Eircode. What these fookers did to our national postcode is every bit as big a scandal as when Liam Lawlor had the M50 moved for his own gain. Eircode is a national Scandal from start to finish.

    Looks like to save money they have dropped their Eircode is a “secret” plan. This “secret” aspect was supposed to prevent fraud…or so they claimed.

    Hmmm Eircode finder gives my home town Celbridge as being in Naas. Also work in Rathcoole (Greenogue) being given Tallaght Eircode. If this is repeated all over country Joe Duffy is gonna be busy!
