35% of addresses in Ireland aren't unique. The newly introduced (and 
hardly used) postcode system gives a unique code to every letter box, so 
it's now unique-able. But to say there were no addresses in Ireland 
pre-2014 is silly.

Technically by Irish standards, German addresses aren't unique, and 
probably more non-unique than Ireland's "35%".
