Pictured at the Ordnance Survey Office in Phoenix Park, Liam Duggan, Managing
Director, Eircode and Joe Langan, Business Services, the AA, point the way to
events this summer with the help of some friends! AA signage now features
Eircodes pinpointing major nationwide locations and events.
The Automobile Association
(AA) is known for providing reliable traffic information, automobile breakdown
services and insurance policies. This summer the AA is including Eircodes
on its signage to make it as easy as possible for event goers to find a
destination.
Festivals, including
Longitude, and events such as the Southern Bride Show in Cork and the Open
Regional Qualifying in Ballybunion, are among many venues that will now include
the Eircode on AA signage. People can simply input an Eircode into the AA
Routeplanner app - but not whilst driving - to get directions to a destination.
Liam Duggan, MD, Eircode,
said:
“We are delighted that the
AA is embracing the Eircode system. The AA is a renowned organisation for
providing reliable services and support to the drivers of Ireland and its use
of the Eircode system will further bolster and enhance that offering.”
Joe Langan, Business Services,
AA Ireland, said:
“The AA is always keen to
offer motorists the best of what is on offer whether that’s traffic
information, breakdown services, or insurance policies. We are very
pleased to be able to provide our customers, and the motorists of Ireland with
an efficiency and accuracy tool such as the Eircode system”.
Using the Eircode system is a simple way of standardising individual addresses so that locations can be pinpointed more easily, for example by the National Ambulance Service. Eircode simplifies route planning for both the public and businesses and enables accurate and efficient provision of goods and services.
