Photograph: PA WireA new stamp marking the 50th anniversary of Ireland joining the European Community , now the European Union , was unveiled by An Post on Friday.
Minister for European Affairs Peter Burke and European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness jointly launched the stamp at the Government Buildings in Dublin. The stamp is An Post’s first stamp of 2023. Its design, by renowned Irish designer Ger Garland, features the flag of what is now known as the EU. The design is based on the stars of the EU flag and the six fundamental values of the EU: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law and human rights. To symbolise the number of members of the EC in 1973, only nine of the 12 stars from the EU flag are visible.
