Mail Services - Covid 19 update

Visitors to the Mailroom are always welcome, however, mindful of the Covid 19 pandemic we have had to take a few precautionary steps to ensure the safety of our Mail Services staff and visitors. Similar to the arrangements you will have seen in busy environments across society we now have a 2m queue management system leading to the entrance of the Mailroom. Visitors are asked to observe the 2m ground markings and queue to gain access to the building. Please do not enter until the reception space is vacant to help us ensure that the 2m physical distancing zone recommended by the Government is respected.

The usual campus delivery/collection schedule is not operating for safety reasons so University staff are asked to deliver and collect their mail directly from the Mailroom.

Eircodes

The Dept of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources review all postal addresses and update the Eircode database every quarter. These records are entirely based on An Post’s information.

Since NUI Galway’s postal delivery address is the Mail Services Centre it is this location that has been assigned an Eircode. The Mail Centre’s Eircode and therefore the main University Eircode is H91 TK33.

The Eircode website advises that there is no mechanism by which you can apply for an Eircode. There are other locations on campus which have Eircodes including: James Hardiman Library, Corrib Village, Catering outlets, Bank of Ireland, Kingfisher and private residences which are located on Distillery Road.

Eircodes can be found at https://finder.eircode.ie/#/map.
