The War of Independence - Struggle for Sovereignty

An Post has today (February 20, 2020) issued a stamp to commemorate the War of Independence featuring the popular Seán Keating painting ‘Men of the South’.

On 19 March, 2020, the price of a standard domestic stamp will increase from €1 to €1.10 and a standard international stamp from €1.70 to €1.80. 
This domestic price increase, the first in three years (since April 2017), reflects other European postal services’ price increases over the past three years and keeps An Post tariffs in line with the European average.
