Although the new postcode system will be in place in the near future, I think this article should be kept for historical purposes. Jvlm.123 10:53, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Historically this is an important and integral part of the mail delivery system in Dublin so I don't see why anyone would suggest deleting it. Regarding the proposed nation-wide postcode system, we shall see if the government gets its way. They have often made proposals that never came to fruition and in this case An Post insists the proposed system is unnecessary and will not lead to any improvement in the delivery of mails in Ireland. ww2censor 15:56, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't the wording on the article saying that Post districts will be abolished entirely be changed since according to reports [1] the new system will merely add on the new postcode to the existing district numbers so that they will still exist Garda40 22:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glenageary, Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire

Why were these removed from the table ? While they may be in Co Dublin they are regarded as "Dublin Postal districts" by An Post (See the postal district map in the 01 area telephone book). An Post even wanted to number these districts but residents groups (particularly in Blackrock) objected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.113.27.137 (talk • contribs).

Because they are not part of the numbered Dublin postal districts system. The telephone book is not an An Post publication but a Telecom Éireann publication, so has no relevance. Here are the An Post list of County Dublin offices and if you click on any of the above numbered Dublin postal districts, Glenageary, Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire are not included there. Glenageary is not included in either list but is in County Dublin too, if you know your local geography. ww2censor 13:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Is the Phoenix Park in Dublin 8?

I heard somewhere that the Ambassador's residence in the Phoenix Park was technically in Dublin 8, even though it's on the north side of the river. Can anyone confirm this?

[edit] Dublin 2 Incorrect

The entry says that St. Patricks Cathedral and surrounding area are in D2. This is incorrect as they are in D8. The boundary of D2 is not Patrick's Street/Clanbrassil St as stated, rather it is Camden St/Wexford St. All areas west of these are in D8. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.192.36.15 (talk) 13:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC).
