The cost of an Irish postage stamp has increased, with the standard national letter stamp now costing €1.25; an increase of .15 cents.
The An Post standard international stamp will also increase from the current €2 to €2.20.
These An Post increases, the company claims, are essential to cover current rising costs, thus ensuring their service continuity remains on a par with the very best in Europe.
An Post will mitigate the impact on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by increasing discounts available to them, while freezing the price of ten-stamp booklet for consumers (currently costing €11) and offering regular price promotions.
Irish postal costs remain well below the current average European tariffs for postage delivery services and like other retail products, this increases reflect transport, fuel and energy inflation
Existing stamp denominations, with ‘N’ (National) and ‘W’ (Worldwide) will still remain valid.
