Using Irish "Eircode" on openstreetmap

Hallo all together,

when one is showing a private house on OSM, there are fields for the street name, town and its postal code.
In the Republic of Ireland this postal code is "eircode".

Questions:
Is it legally allowed to insert the eircode for a private house on openstreetmap.org?
Is it allowed by the rules of 'openstreetmap.org' to insert the eircode of a private house?

Thanks for reading the above.
Danke, dass Sie oberen Beitrag gelesen haben.

Gruesse / Greetings  Hans C

There is no legal, or OSM, problem with adding Eircode data to OSM. Just add it in the addr:postcode tag.

Hi all,
Just a matter of interest - are there any ways to import Eircodes in OSM? E.g. from https://www.eircode.ie/? Its really handy to have those.
