List Of People On Stamps Of Ireland
This is a list of people on stamps of Ireland, including the years when they appeared on a stamp. Because no Irish stamps were designed prior to 1929, the first Irish stamps issued by the Provisional Government of Ireland were the then-current British definitive postage stamps bearing a portrait of George V that were overprinted ''Rialtas Sealadaċ na hÉireann 1922'' (translates as Provisional Government of Ireland 1922) and issued on 17 February 1922. The overprint was later changed to ''Saorstát Éireann 1922'' (Irish Free State 1922). The Irish Free State issued the first commemorative stamps depicting a person on 22 June 1929 when ''Oifig an Phoist'', the Irish Post Office, a section of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, issued a set of three stamps showing Daniel O'Connell. O'Connell is one of a small number of people shown in two issues, including Wolfe Tone and Arthur Guinness. The 2009 Guinness issue included postmarks with his trade mark signature, a first in ph ...

The series also aired on VisionTV in Canada and on PBS and A&E in the United States. The programme ran for 13 series and 70 episodes in total; each episode was adapted from a novel or short story by Christie that featured Poirot, and consequently in each episode Poirot is both the main detective in charge of the investigation of a crime (usually murder) and the protagonist who is at the centre of most of the episode's action. At the programme's conclusion, which finished with " Curtain: Poirot's Last Case" (based on the 1975 novel ''Curtain'', the final Poirot novel), every major literary work by Christie that featured the title character had been adapte ...
