How do you address a letter to dublin?

Answer 1

Ireland does not have postal codes, but there are some postal districts in Dublin with numbers ranging from 1 to 24. You would ideally need to know the postal district for the area you are posting to, though in some cases the letter would get to its destination just by the area name. Many of the area names or street names would be distinctive enough for the letter to reach the destination. O'Connell Street is Dublin's main street, and it is in what is known as Dublin 1, but either of the following would get it there:

Mr J. Smith

1 O'Connell Street

Dublin 1

Ireland

Mr J. Smith

1 O'Connell Street

Dublin

Ireland

Names of areas like Donnybrook, Ballsbridge, Rathmines, Artane, Cabra, Inchicore and many others could easily be put on a letter and still have the particular address found by the postal service without the postal district.

So something like these would work:

Mr J. Smith

1 Main Street

Donnybrook

Dublin

Ireland

Mr J. Smith

1 Main Street

Donnybrook

Dublin 4

Ireland

-------------------

Mr J. Smith

1 Main Street

Cabra

Dublin

Ireland

Mr J. Smith

1 Main Street

Cabra

Dublin 7

Ireland

However, if it all possible, find out the postal district of the area you are writing to. Once you have that, your letter should have no problems in reaching its destination.
