[33167/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe table below lists the Government decisions on the stamps programme 2008 to date in 2010. No proposals on the stamps design and topics were rejected by Government in the period. The Philatelic Advisory Committee in An Post has responsibility for selecting what topics comprise each annual stamp programme. Any proposals for stamp topics submitted to the Department are forwarded to the Philatelic Advisory Committee for consideration as they are received. I will ask the Philatelic Advisory Committee to provide the Deputy with details of suggestions for postage stamps for the period in question.
