Welcome to the second issue of 2013. Inside this issue you will find fascinating stamps celebrating famous people and events.

On page 6, we mark the 50th anniversary of the Irish Cancer Society. The Irish Cancer Society has become Ireland’s national charity for cancer care. A stamp designed by Red Dog Design depicts a bright yellow daffodil – the iconic symbol most people readily associate with the Irish Cancer Society.

Celebrate the work of contemporary Irish visual artists on page 8 with a set of four stamps designed by Ger Garland. The four renowned Irish artists are Amanda Coogan, John Gerrard, Stephen McKenna and Dorothy Cross.

Postal Vehicles is the theme for this year’s Europa stamps. View our two postal vehicle stamps on page 10.

The city of Dublin was nominated UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) City of Literature in July 2010. To mark this milestone designation by UNESCO, An Post is issuing a new stamp designed by The Stone Twins and featuring a story about Dublin written by Eoin Moore. Turn to page 12 to see this stamp.

Commemorate the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s visit to Ireland on page 14. Two stamps designed by Steve Simpson feature images of the state visit.

“Ireland welcomes the diaspora back home.”

On 24 January, An Post’s new postage stamp celebrating The Gathering Ireland 2013 was unveiled by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Leo Varadkar at the GPO. Also pictured above is Chief Executive, Donal Connell, An Post.

Minister Varadkar said: “It’s a real privilege to launch this stamp which was designed especially for The Gathering. This eye-catching stamp will make its way right around the globe, doing its own job of promoting The Gathering wherever it’s sent.”

“The people of Ireland are key to making The Gathering a success. I’m delighted to report that more than 2,500 community Gatherings have already been organised across Ireland. The launch of this stamp is a great opportunity to organise more events this year. I urge anyone with family and friends abroad to use the stamp, send a letter, and invite them home in 2013.”

The stamp was created by Design Factory and depicts elements of The Gathering’s logo combined to form a map of Ireland. It can be used on invitations to family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances to come to Ireland this year for celebrations which are expected to attract around 325,000 extra overseas visitors. Celia Holman-Lee shown in the above photo and friends posted off Gathering-stamped invitations to her own major international fashion Gathering which will take place in Limerick City this October.

Please be advised that the issue date of stamps commemorating the state visit of President Kennedy to Ireland in 1963 has been changed to 6 June.

John F. Kennedy 1917 -1963

Centenary of the sinking of RMS Titanic was voted Stamp Issue of the Year 2012. The names of those who voted for this issue were entered into a draw to win one of ten prizes. The prizes have been issued to the winners and consisted of six First Day Covers signed by the stamp designers.

Stamp Issue of the Year 2012

According to the National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI), roughly one out of every three people living in the country will develop one of the more than 200 different types of cancer at some stage in their lives. However, due to advances in medical science, the fact that more and more people are prepared to make lifestyle changes and the tremendous efforts of the Irish Cancer Society, 42% of men and 50% of women diagnosed with cancer can now hope to survive for a further five years and, in many cases, even longer.

The Irish Cancer Society began life in 1963, when Professor Austin Darragh, a highly regarded Irish physician, discovered that too many people were dying every year from a curable form of cancer. Professor Darragh realised that if people better understood their condition, their chances of survival were greatly increased.

Providing critical information on the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer is one of the cornerstones of the Irish Cancer Society’s mission.

Spreading hope for cancer sufferers and their families.

50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE IRISH CANCER SOCIETY

The charity also provides support for cancer sufferers, and is by far the largest voluntary contributor to cancer research in the country.

Another important aspect of the Irish Cancer Society’s work is in the area of advocacy. Working with the Government, the charity has spearheaded a number of vital cancer screening programmes, designed to facilitate the early detection of certain cancers, thereby increasing the chances of a full recovery.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Irish Cancer Society, An Post is issuing a new stamp designed by Red Dog Design. The stamp depicts a bright yellow daffodil – the iconic symbol most people readily associate with the Irish Cancer Society.

As a relatively small country, Ireland has always punched well above its weight in terms of creativity. Today, Irish visual artists – through their creative explorations – are garnering attention and acclaim, both nationally and on an international level.

Born in Dublin, Amanda Coogan is one of the country’s most creative proponents of performance art. An exciting and highly talented performer, she exudes a raw physicality in her live durational exhibitions – including her extraordinary The Fall – that are designed to both challenge and

stimulate appreciative audiences.

John Gerrard, who works both in Dublin, where he was born, and at his studio in Vienna, is known primarily for his mixed media sculptures. An example of his virtual sculptures is Smoke Tree that features a real-time model of an oak tree that uses smoke in place of leaves.

Though born in London in 1939, painter Stephen McKenna has been living in Bagnelstown, Co. Carlow since 1998. Famous for his paintings, watercolours and drawings,

CONTEMPORARY ARTS – VISUAL ARTS

Irish creativity is receiving worldwide acclaim once again.

his classical approach to his art has produced a massive body of work – including his famous Doors and Sunlight – that redefines the different ways space and light determine how we view everyday objects.

Dorothy Cross was born in Cork in 1956. She works in a wide cross section of visual arts media, from sculpture and photography to video and installation. Her work Ghost Ship, which won her the 1998 Nissan Art Project, featured a decommissioned lightship that was painted with luminous paint so that it would appear – and disappear – like the lightships themselves.

To celebrate the work of contemporary Irish visual artists, An Post is issuing a set of four stamps designed by Ger Garland. The stamps portray the work of Amanda Coogan – The Fall, John Gerrard – Smoke Tree, Stephen McKenna – Doors and Sunlight and Dorothy Cross – Ghost Ship.

Europa stamps were first issued back in 1956 as a way of demonstrating solidarity and a shared sense of purpose amongst the member states of a precursor to the European Union, which at the time numbered just six countries – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

In 1993, European Post Offices (PostEurop) assumed responsibility for issuing Europa stamps on a yearly basis. Under their aegis, a common theme is selected at PostEurop’s Philatelic Forum at which all members of PostEurop are given the opportunity to

propose their preferred themes. The themes are then put to a vote, and the final selection is made. Then each individual country is charged with coming up with a design and issuing their own stamps based upon that theme.

Every philatelist will no doubt remember last year’s theme, ‘Visit’, and the two stunning Irish stamps that depicted the Small Skellig and Dublin’s iconic Ha’penny Bridge. The agreed themes for 2014 – 2016 have been ratified and they include ‘National Musical Instruments’ (2014), ‘Ecology in Europe – Think Green’ (2015) and ‘Old Toys’ (2016).

Celebrating the many different ways mail is delivered.

10

EUROPA – ‘POSTAL VEHICLES’

For this year, which also happens to be the 20th anniversary of PostEurop, the theme is ‘The Postman Van/Postal Vehicles’. This theme celebrates all the various ways and means the post is delivered in every country, from modern trucks and vans to vintage postal vans and even the humble push bike.

To reflect the ‘Postal Van’ theme, An Post is issuing two stamps designed by Steve Simpson. The first stamp shows two postmen, one on his bicycle and the other pushing a post trolley. The second depicts a postman with his green An Post van. Both stamps

feature photography by Harry Weir that positively conveys the many ways mail is delivered in Ireland.

EUROPA – ‘POSTAL VEHICLES’

When the city of Dublin was nominated UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) City of Literature in July 2010, the capital of Ireland became just the fourth city to be honoured, following in the footsteps of Edinburgh, Scotland (2004), and Melbourne, Australia and Iowa City, USA (2008).

This acknowledgement while most gratifying, was hardly surprising. Stop a stranger on the street almost anywhere in the world and ask which world city do they most associate with literature and chances are they will say Dublin.

The city on the Liffey lays claim to no fewer than three Nobel Prize winners for Literature: George Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett. Other literary luminaries who have called Dublin home include Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde, Sean O’Casey, Flann O’Brien, Brendan Behan and James Joyce.

More recently, the list of Dublin-based scribes has lengthened considerably. The names of Roddy Doyle, John Banville, Anne Enright, Sebastian Barry and Joseph O’Connor have helped ensure that Dublin’s rich literary tradition continues to flourish.

Authors abound in one of the world’s most literary cities.

12

DUBLIN – UNESCO CITY OF WORLD LITERATURE

The UNESCO designation – which is on a permanent basis – recognises the quality, quantity and diversity of Dublin’s many excellent libraries, publishing houses and booksellers, as well as its world-acclaimed writers. Some of the other criteria for the designation include having literary-focused educational programmes, experience in staging literary events and festivals, the role played by literature in the urban environment, and the active involvement of the media in promoting literature and growing the market for literary products.

To mark this milestone designation by UNESCO, An Post is issuing a new stamp designed by The Stone Twins and featuring a story about Dublin written by Eoin Moore.

As one of the most charismatic political figures of the twentieth century, John Fitzgerald Kennedy is remembered for a great many accomplishments during his all-too-short life, a life that ended so tragically and violently as his motorcade drove though Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas on a bright November day in 1963.

Not just in America, but throughout the world, change was happening at an accelerated rate in the early years of the 1960s. But rather than shy away from change, Kennedy embraced it with every fibre of his being.

During his tenure as Commander-in-Chief, President Kennedy – the first Catholic president of the United States – accomplished a great deal in a relatively short time. In 1962, he diffused the Cuban Missile Crisis, thereby averting the possibility of an all-out global nuclear war. He inspired the establishment of the Peace Corps which today sends thousands of volunteers around to world to help those in need. His commitment to space exploration ultimately resulted in America landing the first man on the moon. He also introduced laws that ended segregation in interstate travel facilities.

His legacy lives on to this day.

14

JOHN F. KENNEDY 1917 – 1963

His legacy lives on to this day.

In Ireland, JFK is perhaps best remembered for the state visit to his ancestral homeland in June of 1963. His itinerary for the four-day visit included, amongst others, addressing both Houses of the Irish Oireachtas, laying a wreath at the graves of victims of the Easter Rising and paying a visit to the Kennedy ancestral home in Dunganstown, County Wexford.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy visit to Ireland, An Post is issuing two stamps designed by Steve Simpson, and featuring images of the state visit.

To mark the 75th anniversary of An Garda Síochána in 1997, An Post issued a commemorative stamp on 18 February of that year as part of a four-stamp set that also celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Irish Government, the Defence Forces and the Judiciary. The commemorative stamp marking the 75th anniversary of An Garda Síochána featured the Police with the Garda emblem. This represented the second time a Garda stamp was issued; the first occasion being on 23 August 1988.

An Garda Síochána na hÉireann, which literally means Guardians of the Peace of Ireland, was known as the Civic Guard when it was

first established in 1922 following the War of Independence, during which more than 400 members of the constabulary died. The new police force was set up by the government of the day to replace the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Irish Republican Police.

Today, An Garda Síochána – which comprises nearly 14,500 Garda and civilian employees – has a wide remit that includes crime prevention, national security, road safety and the prevention of anti-social behaviour. The force is also deeply committed to working with communities throughout the country in an effort to minimise crime.

16

AN GARDA SÍOCHÁNAA proud history of protecting life, liberty and property in Ireland.

Apart from their well-known role in Ireland, An Garda Síochána has also been involved in numerous peacekeeping missions abroad with the United Nations. Since 1989, when a 50-strong Garda contingent travelled to Namibia, the force has helped preserve peace and promote democracy in countries such as Angola, Cambodia, Cyprus, Mozambique, South Africa and the former Yugoslavia.

Philatelists interested in finding out more about the fascinating history of An Garda Síochána might consider a visit to the Garda Museum and Archives located at the Record Tower at Dublin Castle. Here the

proud and distinguished history of the force comes to life through a huge collection of historical archives and artefacts detailing the evolution of An Garda Síochána, as well as the Irish Constabulary, the Royal Irish Constabulary, the Dublin Police and the Dublin Metropolitan Police.

The Norman Round Tower, which houses the Garda Museum and Archives, dates back to the 13th century and is the last remaining structurally intact medieval tower to be found in Dublin.
