A guide to Dublin Postal Numbers And Their Locations
While it may be obvious to the resident Dubs on here I know that quite often people form other parts of the country and further afield visit our fair city and won't have a clue as to where the likes of D9, D4 and D18 are. Hopefully, this goes some way to explaining each district and where they are located. All odd numbers are north of the Liffey and all the even numbers are to the south with the exception of D8 which is both north and south of the river! Hopefully if you are new to Dublin this will help you select and area to search in relation to your location.
Notice; Stillorgan isn't listed as it's in County Dublin, not D18 as is indicated on the EI search feature.
