Wow, very exciting news, the Irish 🇮🇪 Government announces plans to make Eircodes open data!
Obviously the exact details will matter, but this is great
Many thanks to Dermot McNally for making us aware, we'll watch this closely
@opencage I'm looking forward to seeing the licence details!
I don't use them for anything myself, but the topic of postcode licensing (and also Ordnance Survey datasets) came up repeatedly at #FOSS4GUK2026 last week.
There's certainly a conversation to be had about whether various government databases are better for the overall economy by being freely licensed and used much more widely, rather than commercially restricted.
