Documenting Eircode Misrouting
Since 2019, CheckYourCode.ie has been documenting cases where an Eircode identifies the correct property but road navigation directs users to the wrong road, entrance or access point. Others have been warning about and monitoring it since 2015. The archive is intended to preserve evidence, identify recurring patterns and support research into practical measures that may reduce delays, improve public safety and improve road navigation in Ireland.
The archive is continually updated as new evidence becomes available and now contains over 280 documented evidence items collected since the introduction of Eircode in 2015.
Current archive (July 2026):
• 284+ documented evidence items
• 2015–Present
• Updated regularly
The archive is believed to be the largest publicly available collection of documented Eircode misrouting evidence assembled to date.
These cases affect a wide range of users including:
Over the years this website has developed a structured evidence archive which now contains over 280 documented evidence items, including:
The evidence consistently indicates that the issue is not simply one of incorrect map locations. In many cases, the intended destination is correctly identified, but the navigation system is directed to the wrong operational access point, resulting in what this website describes as Eircode misrouting or route-end access failure.
CheckYourCode.ie continues to monitor and document new cases as they arise.
The evidence archive is maintained as a long-term public resource to support research, policy development, public awareness and practical improvements to road navigation in Ireland.
