Perhaps what needs to be done is foment a boycot of eircode, or at least of the 7-char version which is, with all due respect, mad (or devious, your call). Irish people seem to be quite good at boycoting official policies after the fact :p I certainly don't intend to help the adoption of eircode. But I'm an engineer, with a bias towards freedom, privacy, etc. Getting the general public to understand/care will be much harder. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
