An Post: Che Guevara anniversary stamp approved by Cabinet

A stamp marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara received Cabinet approval before it was put on sale, An Post said.

The postal service unveiled the controversial €1 stamp amid criticism on social media from members of the public who argue that the revolutionary’s legacy makes him an inappropriate subject for inclusion on an Irish stamp.

A spokesperson for An Post said the image chosen was part of a stamp programme which is signed off by the Government, which also has approval on the final individual images chosen.
