An Post’s Ninth Definitive Stamp Series, A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, a selection, began life as an original series by Fintan O’Toole of The Irish Times. Over time, the stamp series will feature many of the objects from the fully illustrated hardback book of the series, A History of Ireland in 100 Objects. Starting with the issue of the first 12 stamps and continuing over five years to when the final stamps are issued, you’ll discover more and more about our island’s long history from c.5000BC to the early 21st century. On 12 January, 2017, An Post introduced the ninth definitive stamp series – A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, a selection. The series is based on Fintan O’Toole’s book, A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, a project which originally involved The Irish Times, The National Museum of Ireland and the Royal Irish Academy. The stamps are represented in photographic format, with each of the objects opening a window into an important moment in Irish history. Eight SOAR stamps were issued as part of the first phase of this definitive series. The objects featured on this first day cover are a Mesolithic Fish Trap, a Ceremonial Axehead, a Neolithic Bowl, and a Gold Hoard. The Fish Trap from Clowanstown, Co. Meath is made of interwoven sticks and dates from c.5000 BC. It was used by early Irish people to catch fish from lakes or weirs. Dating from 3600 BC, the Ceremonial Axehead from Kincraigy, Co. Donegal is an exotic import from the Italian Alps. It is thought that the Neolithic Bowl with burnished surfaces (c.3500 BC) from a burial at Annagh, Co. Limerick may have been used for drinking. The Coggalbeg, Co. Roscommon Gold Hoard is perhaps a set of regalia, consisting of an Early Bronze Age lunula – a crescent-shaped collar representing the moon – and two gold discs, representing the sun. READ MORE

Ba é ba bhun le Naoú Sraith Stampaí Deifnídeacha na hÉireann, Stair na hÉireann 1 100 Réad, rogha díobh, ná sraith bhunúil le Fintan O’Toole as an Irish Times. Tá léiriú le fáil ann ar chuid mhór de na réada atá ann sa leabhar clúdaigh chrua lánmhaisithe a d’éirigh as an tsraith, A History of Ireland in 100 Objects. Ar dtús, eisíodh an chéad 12 stampa agus, ina dhiaidh sin, tar éis tréimhse 5 bliana, eiseofar na stampaí deiridh, agus le linn an ama sin gheobhaidh tú tuilleadh faisnéise anseo faoi stair fhada ár n-oileáin ón mbliain c.5000RC go dtí tús an 12ú haois. Ar an 12 Eanáir 2017, thug An Post isteach an naoú sraith stampaí deifnídeacha – Stair na hÉireann i 100 Réad, rogha díobh. Tá an tsraith bunaithe ar leabhar le Fintan O’Toole, is é sin, A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, ar tionscadal é sin a raibh an Irish Times, Ard-Mhúsaem na hÉireann agus Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann bainteach leis ar dtús. Cuirtear na stampaí ar fáil i bhformáid fhótagrafach agus osclaíonn gach réad ar leith fuinneog trína bhfeictear tráth tábhachtach i stair na hÉireann. Eisíodh ocht stampa SOAR mar chuid den chéad chéim den tsraith dheifnídeach seo. Is iad seo a leanas na réada a thaispeántar ar an gclúdach chéad lae seo: Gaiste Éisc Méisiliteach, Ceann Tua Deasghnách, Babhla Neoiliteach agus Taisce Óir. Tá an Gaiste Éisc as Baile Uí Chlúmháin, Co. na Mí, déanta as slata fite agus baineann sé le c.5000RC. Bhain luatháitritheoirí na hÉireann é chun iasc a ghabháil i lochanna nó i gcoraí. Baineann an Ceann Tua Deasghnách ó Chionn Chreige, Co. Dhún na nGall, leis an mbliain 3600RC agus is allmhaire andúchasach ó Alpa na hIodáile é. Ceaptar go bhféadfadh sé go ndearnadh an Babhla Neoiliteach ar a bhfuil dromchlaí sciomartha (c.3500RC) agus a fuarthas in ionad adhlactha san Eanach, Co. Luimnigh, a úsáid mar uirlis óil. D’fhéadfadh sé gurb é atá i dTaisce Óir Chagála Beag, Co. Ros Comáin, ná sraith éide ina n-áirítear corrán de chuid na Cré-Umhaoise Luaithe – bóna corránach in ionannas na gealaí – agus dhá dhiosca óir in ionannas na gréine. TUILLEADH EOLAIS
