Add Ireland's EIRCODES to Waze
Irelands postcodes were launched in July 2015, please can they be added to Waze? http://www.eircode.ie/what-is-eircode

This would be an important improvement to Waze in Ireland and would make a big difference to how well the navigation works.

Reviving this suggestion. Previous admin response is incorrect. Eircode support is required in Waze. Unlilke a lot of postcode systems, Irish Eircodes are unique codes that match to an exact building/address.
I am constantly getting issues reported by users of the below:
- Search for an address by its house number, you get correctly routed to the correct road as we have added house numbers.
- Search for the eircode, Waze pulls the coordinates from Google and routes to the nearest segment, so many times, this is the incorrect road, a lot of the time it routes users to roads behind the address beause I assume it's technically closer to the coordinates Google provided for the eircode.
We need someway, as editors, to be able to link eircodes to segments, similar to house numbers so that Waze can know to route to the same segment the house number is linked to.
