Although Ireland's routing key areas take a similar format to postcode areas in the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland), they are not intended as a mnemonic for a county or city name, except for those used in the historic Dublin postal districts. Several towns and townlands can share the same routing key. [3]

Whilst water and sewer companies were privatised in England and Wales in 1989, these services remained public in Northern Ireland. In 1996, the Water Executive became an executive agency and was rebranded as the Northern Ireland Water Service and, in 1999, responsibility for water transferred to the Department for Regional Development.
In Ireland, 35% of premises (over 600,000) have non-unique addresses due to an absence of house numbers or names.
