Northern Ireland Postcode database

Does anyone know where I can obtain a free database of NI postcode data? I'm only after latitudes and longitudes or northings and eastings.

I've got one for the rest of the UK but it's missing NI :(

I have one for each outer postcode of Northern Ireland, but any inner postcodes I can get would be a massive benefit.

(I don't want to have to pay royal mail a fortune for some bloody data!)

Are they not in that uk-post-codes-2009.bz2 file that escaped onto the net a while ago? It's got entries like code: "BT476FF", blah ,-7.286863,54.987606,

Hrumph. I'll have a look - ta - but it's really gotta be open source data.

There's new OS data out today... though unless I'm doing it wrong, there's still no Northern Ireland stuff. Still, URL in case it's useful: http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Ooh, interesting.

Can't download it though? It's just a web service?

I'm currently using version 08/2010 of code-point from here: https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html

I managed to get the entire database in the end, using that wikileaks leak to fill any holes I had. The database is 100% complete as far as I know, so if anyone wants it to mess around with just let me know.
