Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 February 2013
113. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the position regarding the application by the Thomas Davis Commemoration Society, Mallow, County Cork, to have An Post commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Thomas Davis by issuing a commemorative stamp in 2014. [9892/13]
View answerThe Special and Commemorative Stamp Programme for 2014, initially approved by Government on 18 December 2012, did not include a stamp to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Thomas Davis.
Nevertheless, I am pleased to advise that following reconsideration of the strong case made by the Thomas Davis Commemoration Society Mallow, An Post’s Philatelic Advisory Committee has now recommended, subject to Government approval, the inclusion of a stamp to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Thomas Davis.
