Hahaha.

Welcome to the Internet.

Enter 00000 or 00 or 01

Any should work.

(Seems like Fingal has a higher population of webasters than anywhere else in Ireland)

Google is an American company

Americans presume that everywhere is part of the USA

Therefore we all have to use 000000

You can now get a Post (PON) Code for any loaction in Ireland from www.irishpostcodes.ie - PON codes are now widely used - see here: Hotels Cork Carrigaline Court Hotel - Featured Accommodation - Hotels - Carrigaline Court Hotel And Leisure Centre

PON Codes are available for testing on Garmin Nuvi 700 series SatNav's and they are licensing webmasters to generate and use PON Codes on their websites.

They aren't officially recognised by An Post, so what's the point?

Blacknight - An Post is not the authority for recognising Post Codes in Ireland. A National Post Code system was supposed to be introduced by Jan this year but it appears now that it is on the long finger due to opposition by the semi state commercial body that is An Post and because of economic issues. In the meantime all the usual well documented difficulties related to not having a Post Code system remain. Interestingly, the biggest demand for Post Codes is not from those sending mail but rather those operating on the web or delivering services via vehicles on our roads (Including Courier Services and Fire and Emergency Services). PON Codes are Lat/long or grid references in a different format - many have tried using Lat/long as an alternative to Post Codes in Ireland to resolve problems but they are too difficult to use/remember/communicate for those who have no knowledge and come in too many formats. PON Codes solve these problems and in the absence of nothing else there is is nothing to stop anyone using them on the web or on satnav's...... they are precise and they work and, indeed, they may well become the National System if and when that is implemented!!!!

All expalined here: PONC Find Out More
