Rather than "Knowing" your Eircode - 1st check it for location & also routing, then put it on a sign for all to see in an emergency. Some Eircodes have misrouted & delayed ambulances - check yours & for others who can't here -

Every second counts when calling 999; know what to do in an emergency.
😐Stay calm
👂Listen carefully to the call-taker
🤳Always remain on the line
📍Know your Eircode
✅Follow all instructions
@Postvox can you explain why a package sent to me from Australia is being returned there without ye having attempted delivery even once? Full address and @Eircode on it. I have a tracking number.
@limerickpost @sarahleekiely why would you be encouraging a "nearest eircode" solution that would guide responders to somehwere which is not where they are needed?
@Seananigen@Postvox An Post specified the design of Eircode to suit its requirements & stated that it would be used in every aspect of their business. @Postvox lied. Since 2017 it has been admitting publicly that it doesn't use Eircode. @1Hildegarde has known this since then BUT chose to do nothing!
@sarahleekiely of @FineGael recently pushing Eircode into a use for which it was never designed & is wholly unsuitable yet @1Hildegarde chose to tell no one when she heard @Postvox was not using Eircode for the purpose it was designed & for which €M's Public money was spent.
here's some guidance on checking your code and why the Directions given may misroute and cause delays - even for emergency responders.

@OisinC7@googlemaps Oisin, I am not sure if your issue relates to Eircode misrouting but our website will clarify and may also be able to help. https://t.co/HUThhQ5NuD
@Zoe_Kingston_ ambulance Service will accept a Loc8 Code as well as an Eircode & the #loc8code in your case will solve the misrouting. Eircode (Capita) usually tell people to contact GMaps to get this solved but the ambulance service does not use Gmaps & therefore the issue may not be resolved
@Zoe_Kingston_ Follow this link to see the routing with a Loc8 Code for yourself https://t.co/vEecbk4dO8 We have provided some advice and insights on our website here https://t.co/deBVFfcT9R

@AmbulanceNAS There is no value in a "memorised" Eircode when you are unconscious. All code MUST be checked first and then placed on a sign for all to access in an emergency. There are guides here - https://t.co/2fhRFubIzw
@NAS_Waterford Your statement is NOT always true - Eircodes have verifiably misrouted & delayed ambulances.
Also there is no value in "knowing your Eircode" when you are unconscious! Codes MUST be checked & placed on a sign for all to access in an emergency https://t.co/2fhRFubIzw
@Eircode Great advice for the Eircode (or Loc8 Code) to be displayed for all to see BUT every code needs to be checked for Location & Routing 1st. Please do it for those who cant - there's a guide here - https://t.co/2fhRFubIzw
@MargaretBoland8 @KavanaghCPO Graham has forgotten to advise that everyone needs to check their Eircode for both location & routing accuracy before relying on it in an emergency. Eircode can and has misrouted & delayed ambulances https://t.co/HUThhQ5NuD
@erstack@Eircode Elizabeth, this is a well documented occurrence with Eircode - Eircode Misrouting has also delayed ambulances. You can check related issues and info here https://t.co/2fhRFubIzw
