 Seven Irish airmail stamps were issued between 1948 and 1965 in the 1d , 3d , 6d , 8d , 1 / - , 1 / 3 and 1 / 5 values . No specific airmail rate existed for the 1d and 3d stamps though their use was permitted on non @-@ airmail correspondence ; all others paid a contemporaneous rate when first produced . These were the only airmail stamps ever issued but many definitives and commemoratives have been produced in values that paid the postage rate for airmail service .
