- List of people on stamps of Ireland
This is a list of people on the
postage stamp s of theIrish Free State between 1922 and 1937 and on the postage stamps of Ireland since 1937, including the years when they appeared on a stamp.Because no postage stamps had been designed, the first Irish stamps issued were the current British definitive postage stamps depicting a portrait of George V that were
overprint ed "Railtas Sealadaċ na hÉireann 1922" and issued on17 February ,1922 . The overprint was later changed to "Saorstát Éireann 1922".The Irish Free State issued the first commemorative stamps depicting a person on
June 22 ,1929 when "Ofig an Phoist", the Irish Post Office, a section of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, issued a set of three stamps showingDaniel O'Connell .The Department of Posts and Telegraphs and, after 1984,
An Post designed stamps showing statesmen, religious, literary and cultural figures, athletes, etc. Until the mid-1990s it was usual policy not to issue stamps showing living persons, the only exceptions being Douglas Hyde (stamp 1943, d. 1949) and Louis le Brocquy (stamp 1977, still alive in 2007), but this policy has been put aside and there have recently been several issues showing living persons.
