What data is expected?

The suitable response here would be NOT APPLICABLE. There is no national postal code system in Ireland at the moment. However, as per press release dated October 8th 2013: 'RABBITTE GETS GREEN LIGHT FROM CABINET FOR “NEXT GENERATION POSTCODE” SYSTEM BY 2015' (http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/Press+Releases/2013/RABBITTE+GETS+GREEN+LIGHT+NEXT+GEN+POSTCODE+BY+2015.htm)
