Here’s an idea for An Post, stop these stupid and endless designs and reduce the price for sending an A4 sheet in an A4 envelope 50 miles down the road from the current extortionate rate of €1.80.
You’re a postal service, for fupps sake.
Carnegie libraries are great. Thats what billionaires should be doing with their money.

There a lovely feature in towns and villages throughout Kerry and Waterford
and our own government couldn’t build a house
Never thought I’d see Clondalkin represented on a stamp. That’s down the end of my old road. Lovely.
Nice :)
Nice work Dorothy!
I’ve seen more of her work in the back dining room of the Woodstock in Phibsboro (which is still safe to go into, even without skinny jeans or a beard).
Of the Carnegie libraries, Rathmines is the real cathedral.
Several old schools have been turned into libraries.
