How to Stop Junk Mail
The Irish Direct Marketing Association (IDMA) are able to stop junk mail from arriving at your home. There are two ways of doing this.
Firstly you can click here to go to the IDMA web site and download the a Mail Preference Form (under "Information for Consumers"). Simply print off this form and complete with your information.
Then simply post it in an envelope (no stamp required) to the following address:
Mailing Preference Service,
IDMA,
8 Upper Fitzwilliam Street,
Dublin 2.
Alternatively, or if you can not download the form, you can ring the Irish Direct Marketing Association (IDMA) directly on 01-6610470. They will send a Mailing Preference Form out in the post and once this is completed and returned your name will be removed from their database of which serves approximately 280 companies. The MPS form only covers mail originating in Ireland.
For other companies which are not members of the IDMA or for mail originating outside of Ireland it is more difficult to put a stop to junk mail. You can write to the individual companies as they are legally obliged to respond and remove your name from their database within 40 days.
