http://www.mysociety.org/ claims it publishes geo locations for NI  
postcodes: http://parlvid.mysociety.org:81/os/ONSPD_FEB_2012_UK_O.zip
and apparently it got them from here:
http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/geography/products/postcode-directories/-nspp-/index.html
which says that they are licenced on Open Government Licence terms.

I see BT (i.e. Northern Ireland) addresses in there, so it seems that at  
least you can generate URIs using the same scheme, even if the  
dereferenced data is of lower quality (it may not be, I haven't looked).
