Making a move easier

After what seems like ages in development hell (but at least a year), NewAddress.ie has got off the starting blocks. The site enables people moving house to automatically notify companies of their new gaff.

NewAddress has signed up about 30 firms and organisations (such as Red Cross) but you can't actually see the list until you sign up. Many of the familiar ones are there - such as Vodafone, Eircom, Bank of Ireland, etc - yet loads are missing (AIB, for instance) and hence the site can't be a one-stop shop that takes care of everything for you.

At least using it won't cost you a bean - the companies are funding it.
