Mr Vic Gysin, Chief Operating Officer of Capita plc with Minister Rabbitte at the signing of National Postcode System contract

Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte today announced the formal signing of the contract for the Postcode Management Licence Holder (PMLH) with Capita Ireland.

Speaking at today’s announcement, Minister Rabbitte said:

A publicly-owned postcode system is a key piece of modern national infrastructure, and ours will be the first in the world to be unique to each individual address. It will bring significant benefits to the public, business and government. I’m very pleased to announce the signing of the contract with Capita who will develop and operate the next generation postcode system for the State. I look forward to the public starting to use postcodes, which we expect to be in the first half of 2015.
