Current Index Mark Codes
Most county codes use the first and last letters of the county name, for example Sligo is SO. The exceptions are:
- Where a conflict exists, i.e. Kerry is KY, so Kilkenny is KK; and County Waterford is WD, so Wexford is WX.
- Tipperary is divided into Tipperary South (TS) and Tipperary North (TN).
- Limerick City and Waterford City use single letters: L and W.
- Dublin City & County, Cork City & County and Galway City & County also use single letters: D, C and G.
Tipperary North and Tipperary South were known as Tipperary North Riding and Tipperary South Riding respectively until 2002.

Famous quotes containing the words current, index, mark and/or codes:
“But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
Where either I must live or bear no life;
The fountain from the which my current runs
Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
To knot and gender in!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Exile as a mode of genius no longer exists; in place of Joyce we have the fragments of work appearing in Index on Censorship.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
““Ask the perfumers, ask the blacking-makers, ask the hatters, ask the old lottery-office keepers—ask any man among ‘em what my poetry has done for him, and mark my words, he blesses the name of Slum. If he’s an honest man, he raises his eyes to heaven, and blesses the name of Slum—mark that!”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
