Hi,
Adding individual Eircodes shouldn't be a problem. Adding the whole database is
another matter. Facts can't be copyrighted, databases can.
So just like I can read the name of an office on a sign and add it to OSM, I
can do the same when I read the Eircode off their business card.

Whatever the merits or de-merits of the system, it is the official post code
system. I map a lot of business. Some of them (gambling, e-cigarettes), I would
prefer not to map, but on OSM I'm a mapper, not an activist. If you don't want
to add Eircodes, don't. But I think it would be wrong to delete Eircodes.
