**Better database screening should soon be available for the whole of [Ireland](https://fundraising.co.uk/tag/ireland/),
as Ireland’s new postcode has just launched.**

[Eircode](http://www.eircode.ie/) is the national postcode system being launched
by the state which will be used and recognised by key public sector bodies and An
Post. Most other countries use a code that identifies a group of properties in a
small area. However, Eircode is a more advanced postcode system, with a unique Eircode
for every home and business address.

You can [find the Eircode for addresses](https://finder.eircode.ie/) here.

Type the full address into the search box, including the house name or number if
available. If you are searching for a business, including the business name will
help too. It helps to separate each address line with a comma. If you type in the
Eircode and click on the search button, this will display the address details.

The Eircode Finder is for people who occasionally need to look up address details.
It is not for commercial use which is why a limit of 15 searches has been set. When
the limit is reached an alert is shown on the website, however you may look up a
further 15 searches the following day.

Commercial [products](https://www.eircode.ie/business/products-and-services) are
available from Eircode or from Eircode Providers.
