As announced in January, 1966, the Government have decided to mark in a special manner in Ireland the Cententary of the Confederation of Canada which is being celebrated this year.
One of the steps which will be taken in pursuance of this decision will be the issue of a special commemorative postage stamp. Other proposals to mark the Centenary in Ireland are at present being actively considered.
