A while back I posted here asking about the use of #eircodes on #openstreetmap. After that discussion I reached out directly to support, this is their response.

**TL;DR:** you’d need to purchase the eircodes in order to use them.

Strategy to turn moderate numbers of #Eircodes to lat/lon pairs without a Google Maps API key
1: put IDs & Eircode in a CSV
2: Open up Google "My Maps", create a new map
3: Import the CSV file: set eircodes as the locators, IDs as the labels
3: The resulting map has the coordinates and the ID in a popup for each record. Download the HTML.
4: Extract the JSON from the HTML (last line; by hand?)
5: Extract the ID and coordinates from the JSON (really gnarly JSON, though)
