PLANS FOR Ireland's first postcode system have been welcomed by the Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTA Ireland). The association believes the system will save operators time and money when delivering to the country. The government has approved plans for a national postcode system that will provide a unique sevencharacter code for each address in the country, including individual apartments, by spring 2015.
Neil McDonnell, general manager at FTA Ireland, said: "Members will benefit greatly from this change, which will make deliveries and collections more cost-effective and improve the overall efficiency of the distribution of goods and services to industry and the general public.
"This new system will enable greater speed and efficiency of deliveries and freight operations overall, which could result in significant savings in time and money, to the benefit of businesses and customers alike," he added.
