AN POST IS releasing a new stamp with the Guaranteed Irish symbol to mark the organisation’s 50th anniversary.
The stamp has been designed by a Dublin-based agency, CI Studio, and is available from today online and in selected post offices.
Guaranteed Irish is a membership organisation that started in 1974 to support Irish businesses and its symbol lets shoppers know when a product has come from Ireland.
The new stamp is an ‘N’ rate costing €1.40, which means it will only cover postage within Ireland.
Guaranteed Irish CEO Brid O’Connell said the stamp is a “fitting way” to celebrate fifty years of Irish businesses working together.
“It is only by working together, as we saw during the pandemic, how beneficial the experience can be for our local economy, our supply chain and our environment,” she said.

I’m suprised that it’s not a rainbow stamp
@Andrew Martin: Why?
@Liz Dunning: Andrew didn’t say he didn’t like it, and chances are he’s not a Nazi.
@Andrew Martin: that was issued in 2018
@Andrew Martin: Actually, that would make an excellent stamp.
It would not only show our support for diverse communities, but would also hark back to Irish mythology with a pot-of-gold-at-the-end-of-a-rainbow theme.
A white male hand, how did that get past the PC crowd?
@Dan Breen: ‘The PC crowd’, unlike yourself, value everyone in our society.
@Brendan O’Brien: EVERY article with comments open & bing! There u are with the contrary idiot comment. Jeez you’d get on great with Mrs mc carthy- she’d cause an argument in an empty church too. Lol
@Ken Mc Carthy: I think you replied to the wrong poster there, Ken
@SYaxJ2Ts: I’d need a trolls help so….lucky to have you on hand. Lol
@SYaxJ2Ts: Ken ‘Donald Trump is an honest man’ McCarthy isn’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier (lol, as he would say himself).
@Brendan O’Brien: I keep knocking, but nobody is ever at home lol
@Brendan O’Brien: jeez…. tis pathetic to see you replying to yourself on all your accounts….,. Get out, take dog for a walk….this full time trolling can’t give much ‘purpose’
@Ken Mc Carthy: If all else fails (and it does), resort to the tired old ‘multiple account’ jibe.
@Brendan O’Brien: which one this time????? L
@Brendan O’Brien: to be fair according to honest man Ken me and Kevin are the same person hahahah. I’m unsure if I’m Kevin or if Kevin is me but I never got clarification
@Martin Mongan: jeez I missed that one!
@SYaxJ2Ts: ah….tis tough to monitor ALL your accounts???
@SYaxJ2Ts: yeah yesterday evening on the article about the hse building homes for staff hahahaha apparently you and me are the same person. I’d love to live in Ken’s fantasy land most people have to pay hard earned money for that sort of thing
@Martin Mongan: I just read it – hilarious! That thread started with a reference to the Ukrainian baby born in Cork. Ken called the fighting age father a yellow coward. Like something from a 50’s western movie haha
@Dan Breen: Looks like the hand of a zombie.
Donnelly needs to resign. Over 150 people on trolleys in uhl the other day
@reg morrisey: what’s your solution Reg?
@Ian McDonald: Reg has proposed Donnelly to resign, its a good start in my opinion
@Mike 100: that might be a start but it’s not a solution.
Shouldn’t that arm be black?
@Cuthbert Richardson: Pathetic comment.
@Cuthbert Richardson: ooh, edgy.
@Cuthbert Richardson: “Good for you Father, good for you”
@Cuthbert Richardson: How are you to type?
It’s lovely…
Always seem to be advertising new stamps on here for some reason…click bait or government advert…
@Jb Walshe: In what sense could a new stamp be a government advert?
@Jb Walshe: Paranoid a bit?
@Jb Walshe: Local Irish content bothers you? Sure click bait only works if people who are interested click on it. If you don’t collect and you don’t buy stamps in Ireland, it’s understandable that you aren’t interested but what possible damage can it do to read that some Irish people still write to each other?
Still 60c cheaper than the digital stamp. Only in Ireland. You’re doing a great job David McRedmond
@Ian McDonald:
The digital stamps are more expensive?
@Peter: Yes, they are.
@Peter: yep
Somebody was smoking the wacky baccy………
And I bet it’ll be a sticker one again… No thought given to stamp collectors (yes, they still exist, and no they don’t dwell in darkened rooms, and no they aren’t all pensioners)
@Jerry LeFrog: So, you philately reject the stereotype.
@Jerry LeFrog: Or maybe you could write to An Post about this?
Do people not value stickers with no price on them? Is it the official glue that makes a stamp?
Looks like a third grade Banksy rip-off. Not much imagination on display.
A new stamp when the cost goes up…again.
Everything will be digital soon. Bye bye an post.
No boats ???
have your say
