Ireland Issue two stamps in 2020 in the Ancient Postal routes, one stamp shows us a boat, most probably a “currach”, some sources give a “coracle” but that type was not used in Ireland only in Great Britain on rivers and lakes, while the “currach” was used in Ireland and sailed also overseas.

The Irish Post gives by the stamp:
On July 16, 2020, An Post issued two stamps on the theme of ‘Ancient Postal Routes’ as its contribution to European Post Offices (PostEurop) annual pan-European EUROPA philatelic project.
Designed by Red&Grey, the stamps and FDC are based on illustrations by Orlagh Murphy. Taking inspiration from religious art, using a quadriptych (four-quadrant layout), the stamps tell the story of the journey of a letter from the letter writer to the receiver during the Middle Ages.
The images on the first stamp (N rate) feature both the author of the message and the message being carried overseas by boat. The images on the second stamp (W rate) feature both the message being carried overland on horseback and the delivery of the message to the recipient.
Inspired by an archival drawing, Orlagh Murphy’s illustration on the FDC depicts a map of the European travel route of Giraldus Cambrensis (c. 1146 – c.1223). The route shows how he traveled from Dublin to Rome via Paris.
Giraldus Cambrensis was a prolific writer and influential figure in the twelfth-century renaissance, a period of social, political, and economic transformation in Europe. He wrote ‘Topographia Hiberniae’ as an account of the landscape and people of Ireland, circa 1188.
