Phil Healy among athletes celebrated with postmark

CORK’S Phil Healy is among a number of inspirational Irish athletes set to be honoured by An Post for their outstanding performances at the European Athletics Championships this year.

The medal-winning athletes to be honoured by a postmark include Ms Healy, Christopher O’Donnell, Rhasidat Adeleke, Sophie Becker, Sharlene Mawdsley, Tom Barr, and Ciara Mageean.

The postmark will be applied to millions of regular-sized letters and cards that are posted in the country over the coming month, as they are sorted through An Post hubs in Athlone, in Dublin, and Portlaoise.

An Post CEO, David McRedmond said: “Our superstar athletes inspire and delight the whole nation.

“Their hard work, perseverance, and sheer joy is a lesson to us all and we congratulate them on their outstanding success.”

“We hope this postmark carries Ireland’s admiration and pride on letters across Ireland and the world,” Mr McRedmond added.
