A Public Service Announcement
is currently airing on RTÉ television and radio as a reminder that using your
Eircode in an emergency situation can help the National Ambulance Service find
you faster.
Throughout
Ireland there are approximately 800,000 non-unique addresses, these are
addresses that have no house name or number. Typically, these addresses are in
rural locations and in the past getting to them has been a challenge with the
caller often having to provide detailed and lengthy directions to get to a
location. Providing an Eircode in addition to an address can help the Emergency
Call Taker and Emergency Medical Dispatcher swiftly and accurately identify a
caller’s location.
If you need assistance to find your Eircode you can contact us by email at hello@eircode.ie or by phone on 0818 300 005
or 01 901 2232 to speak to one of our team.
