Regarding possible privacy issues, I've yet to find someone to explain to me how a buildings eircode is any different from a buildings address.
As for adding postcodes to addresses at all, as sad as it is to say, only Eircode will end up being widely used and as it will be the officially recognised postcode in use in the country, it is the only one which should be added under the tag addr:postcode. I do not discriminate against other code providers when I say this either. People are free to use what they want, but in terms of being the officially recognized code, there will only be one. There will still be the option to use, for example, addr:postcode:loc8, addr:postcode:openpostcode etc for others if people still want to add those. Given that there are over 250,000 buildings already in the OSM dataset for Ireland there is room to have a discussion regarding adding those alternatives under the suggested tags above. Given OSM tagging freedom, its one of the few locations where all codes could co-exist Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
