National eircode database

The database of eircodes and their associated addresses/gps co-ordinates.

This body has rejected open sourcing eircode information on multiple occasions. However, while this is intended to force companies to pay for commercial use of this data it has also kneecapped the ability of open source projects such as openstreetmaps https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=6/53.49/-3.41 and organic maps https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps to create useful maps in Ireland as being open source and non-profit projects they are not able to pay for the data that would allow them to use eircodes for navigation. I suspect the same problem also goes for valid use cases of eircodes by a lot of non-profits.

For this reason I would like to request that eircodes are either made open source or at the very least that the database is made freely available to non-profits.
