The National Ambulance Service is urging the public to learn off their eircode.
It comes after a recent study shows 60% of people never or rarely use the postal codes.
However, the National Ambulance Service says everyone should know their eircode in the case of an emergency.
Everyone should know their @Eircode
It's also helpful to be aware of @loc8code which can help us identify features that aren't 'postal addresses'.@HSELive @NasDirector https://t.co/YSGWY56aZM— National Ambulance Service (@AmbulanceNAS) February 18, 2020
The service says the public should also be aware of loc8 codes.
These can help the NAS to identify places that are not postal addresses.
