Among the 6 athletes are London Olympic champion, and undefeated world lightweight champion, Katie Taylor, and Tokyo Olympic Champion, Kellie Harrington.
The other athletes being honoured on the Irish Women in Sport stamps are:
Rachael Blackmore, who became the first female top jockey at Cheltenham and the first female Aintree Grand National winner.
Ireland Women’s Hockey Team, silver medallists at the 2018 World Cup, who have again qualified for the finals in 2022.

Designed by Dublin studio, Unthink, the stamps are a bold design, multi-coloured on metallic silver. Each athletes’ name appears in large font, behind a powerful sporting moment, captured by sports photo journalists from Irish agencies Inpho and Sportsfile and for Getty Images.
Speaking at the unveiling of the stamps with members of the Irish Hockey Team at the GPO, Hildegard Naughton, Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications said:
“It is only right and proper that we celebrate the success of Irish women in sport and what better time to do it than to mark International Women’s Day. I for one have the utmost respect for the Irish women in sport who are key role models to young girls the length and breadth of the country. They demonstrate how strength, resilience and determination can pay off when you, or your team, set a goal and strive to achieve it. We have a lot to be proud of in Ireland when it comes to our female athletes who have led the way for women in sport on the global stage. Long may it last and here’s to boundless success for future generations of Irish women and girls.”
ional (‘N’ rate) stamps celebrate success on a world stage with a range of action shots showing energy, passion and physical exertion in the pursuit of excellence.

Affiliation for the 2022/2023 season is scheduled to commence in April and take place through the Blocworx platform.
IABA is working with Blocworx to make the system more user-friendly and efficient. IABA has also sought the input of county boards and provincial units to contribute to that process.
Clubs who have not been up-dating their new members since the beginning of the season in to Blocworx are advised to begin doing so now – this will ensure that the affiliation process for your club takes as little time as possible.
Usernames and passwords issued to clubs for this season’s affiliation process have not changed, and can be used, at any time, to add new members. These were issued, by email, to all clubs in July 2021.
If any club needs assistance in updating the new members section of their Blocworx portal, or would like their usernames and passwords re-issued, they can contact National Development Manager, James Geraghty through james@iaba.ie
