The same applies to stamps from any other state. I’ve just got a letter from Germany this morning. Those Deutschebundespost stamps seem to have been enough to get them from point of entry to my door.

Ok I'll clarify my point, the cost of posting a letter from dublin to letterkenny is the same as dublin to belfast, i.e. the same stamp (as in single one, same value)

You can’t post from here across the border with An Post stamps.

Naturally.

I do remember a time when a first class stamp would do then it changed to international mail, or maybe it was just the local RM turned a blind eye.
In the past I'd get a few SAEs from the US with US stamps on them... you know... to save me the cost of postage ;-)

Oh yes, that’s right. The same as dialling 048 to get here, rather than 004428.
It used to be enough to use a first class stamp from here, but it was changed to the “near Europe” category along with France and Netherlands etc. some years ago. Up to then, it used to be cheaper to use the post from here for local deliveries there.
