New stamp marks 150th anniversary of disestablishment of Church of Ireland

The new stamp marks the 150th anniversary of the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland, resulting in the dissolving of the union between Church and State in Ireland that had existed since the 16th century Reformation.

A new stamp has been issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland, which effectively severed its links with the British state to create a standalone entity.

The €1 ‘N’ rate stamp, by Dublin’s Vermillion Design, features an image of the sun, moon and stars stained-glass panel from Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork City.
