Since the launch of Eircodes in July 2015, their usage, as part of an address, continues to grow and is used widely among the public, businesses and public sector.
As part of the ongoing measurement of Public Awareness a national survey was scheduled for years four, seven and ten of the licence in order to demonstrate incremental increases in awareness to 70%, 80% and 90% respectively.
Independent Research carried out in 2017 (Year 4) by Amárach showed 84% of respondents were able to supply a validated Eircode for their address.
Research by Amárach in 2020 (year 7) showed 93.3% of respondents were able to supply a correct and verified Eircode for their address, and 73% know their Eircode by memory.
