I received this from an Irish seller, apparently computer or post office vended postage. If anyone has any info to add to this post, that would be great.  
Feel free to post any other Irish vended postage here as well. |

Republic of Ireland
Computer-Vended Postage
Commemorating First Transatlantic Flight 1919During my recent trip to Ireland, I mailed myself a postcard from the main post office in Killarney on 5th May. I had the postal clerk hand cancel the stamp for me at the counter, but it received a another spray cancel later that day as well. The postcard rate for any destination outside of Ireland is €2.20 (EUR), which is only slightly more in USD based on current exchange rates. I noted that the hand-cancel CDS is very similar in style to those used in the UK, but I thought that writing the place name in Gaelic (Cill Áirne = Killarney) was a nice distinction. When I took my postcard to the PO counter, they told me that they did not have any pre-printed stamps available, only the computer-vended option.

Hello stamp friends, I hope you are all well. The An Post, the Irish Post Office, is very efficient and I received my second post card mailed from Donegal in a very timely manner. It has the fourth of the strip of four stamps I bought at the post office. It celebrates washing machines in the 1950s. I must admit to being a little puzzled by that. It may have a relationship to the fact that Ireland was not completely electrified until the 1950s, but I don't know. In any event, have a great week and keep collecting!   |
