    How about a story on how the one of the postcode consortium winners actually just won a tender to deliver the Irish Water Grant.

    Or how the remaining postcode tender winners have actually designed a second code because they know eircode is so crap it wont be used. The Plan B code is of course private but they used the €27,000,000 eircode tender to develop it.

    A good postcode was proposed but changed to become a billing database for Irish Water.
