Description	1972: First Irish stamp miniature sheet commemorating 50 years of independence.
Source	http://www.europeanstamps.net/imagedb2/details.asp?id=9038
Article	Postage stamps of Ireland
Portion used	Full stamp image - there is no possible commercial disadvantage to the copyright holder by using this image of a stamp in a Wikipedia article for a stamp that has not been on sale for more than 35 years by the Irish postal authority.

Purpose of use	Use in article Postage stamps of Ireland to illustrate the first miniature sheet and as the only image used in that section of the article.
Replaceable?	No replaceable image available - this was the stamp miniature sheet itself and no other image of any kind can replace this image.
Other information	This is an absolutely correct Fair use according to Wikipedia's own guidelines for stamps because the image is being used in an article about stamps and not an article about the subject.
