Automagically scraping the finder.eircode.ie site is a grey area, I would

So I did some tests.
If I go to finer.eircode.ie on my phone and put in a postcode, and

then have a choice of which mapping app to use. It is important to
pick DIRECTIONS as other options use the eircode mapping website. The
Hi Richard
While you’re asking can you ask will app developers be able to query the
database as the website does currently? Even with the same usage restrictions
it would be useful. That way apps could be built to navigate to the postcodes.

You type in your eircode and it finds your property, simple, no messing about
