We don't have postcodes in Ireland. Except for inner Dublin and even then they are a bit random.
HTH
I once saw a telly program about the Irish post office. Apparently if people send letters to small villages and can't remember the address they regularly write things like 'Mr O'Neill who lives nextdoor to the primary school, <village name>, <County>', and the post gets there. Brilliant; we need an efficient system like that in the rest of Europe.
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

It's not because he does not remember, outside the cities many streets/roads don't have names signs and houses don't have numbers.
So 'Mr O'Neill who lives nextdoor to the primary school, <village name>, <County> is the address.
However I did notice last time I was back that if you use satnav names do appear, but as there is no street name signs, no one knows what they are.
