Answer:
Ireland has no postal/zip codes, except in Dublin where the city is divided in postal codes 1-24. A plan for a National PostCode system for Ireland was to be implemented by Jan 2008. There are a number of organisations developing postcode systems for Ireland in advance of a government decision to introduce one in 2009. Potential code systems for Ireland are available to view on the web. However, no official code has been accepted by the Irish Government at this stage, nor is one being used widely by households across the country.

If you are addressing a letter to somewhere in the Republic of Ireland, all you need to know is the main part of the address and the county the town is in. You would put the name of the person it is going to, followed by the number and street name on the next line, followed by the town on the next line, the county on the next line and finishing it with Ireland. So it would be something like this:

Mr. John Doe
1 Main Street
Ballytown
Co. Dublin
Ireland.
Of course, only an American would insert a full stop after a contraction. Work it out yourselves.
