At the moment, practically ever house in a rural Irish townland will have the
same address - Joe Bloggs, townland, postal town, county. A third of all
households have such addresses. There is a potential privacy issue, insofar as
the eircode is a proxy number for a household (for as long as they live there).
For others, the privacy issue is that they will actually have to pay their
taxes and traffic fines. I've no objection to the system making people obey the
law. :)
