Every quarter, An Post’s delivery staff is debriefed for ‘on the ground intelligence’. This is fed into a database by a dedicated team of support staff who are in regular communication with local authority planning departments. This information is then geocoded by Tailte Éireann. We add in feedback from existing customers and then these updates are available to our existing clients free of charge.
