The ‘Father of the Irish Tricolour’, revolutionary and soldier, Thomas Francis Meagher is celebrated in a new stamp released by An Post today.

In 1848, Meagher brought the flag which was later to become the flag of the Irish Republic, from Paris to his home city of Waterford….

Designed by Dublin design studio WorkGroup, the stamp is based on a portrait of Meagher, by Charles, the stamp and a very collectable First Day Cover (FDC) are available from main post offices, at the stamp counters at Dublin’s GPO or online (at link below)
