In the Republic of Ireland, townlands continued to be used on addresses. However, in 2005 the [[Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources
 (Ireland)|Department of Communications]] announced that the postcode system is to be introduced (see [[Republic of Ireland postal addresses]]). 

A useful source of information on townlands (with an emphasis on the northern parts of Ireland) is the Federation for Ulster Local Studies.  Its publications include ''Every Stony Acre Has a Name: Celebration of the Townland in Ulster'' by Tony Canavan, and  ''Townlands in Ulster: Local History Studies'', edited by W.H. Crawford & R.H. Foy.
