[GIS] Dublin postal areas shapefile

datairelandshapefile

I'm currently developing an application that uses shapefiles for Dublin. In particular I want to display the postal areas for Dublin but cannot locate an appropriate shapefile.

Can anyone advise where to locate the shapefile for Dublin postal areas?

Best Answer

The Dublin Postcode areas are mapped on OSM so maybe you could download them from there? Try Geofabrik or even the QGIS plugin to do this.

I suspect they might be in line format, so they might need some work.

I plan on getting these myself in the near future so will keep you posted if I do!

Update:

I have found a very handy tool called Overpass Turbo. This allows you to query for OSM features and export the results as GeoJSON, GPX or Raw Data.

I generated a query to return Dublin postal codes which can be found here: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/ve

I exported the result to GPX and later converted to shapefile.

This should give you what you are looking for!
