250 years would be 2025. That's a big error.

Yep, how does that happen these days? Does no-one vet them, recommend or approve them? I've ordered a few sets just in case they get pulled and replaced

In the windows of the building on the right - enlarge the image and you will see a capital F and a capital P.

Could FP mean Free Palestine as a secret message? Obviously concocted to draw attention real or not.

UK Telegraph was officially inaugurated in 1846 by a government act. Wooden poles were used (that's perhaps what is seen in the stamp design, atop a building.) It is known that telegraph wires appeared along railway lines. A bit more research is required. Sorry, no Radio-TV antenna appears in the design. Year of birth: 1775, 250 years to 2025. Electrical telegraphy: 1846.

Sorry, but you're incorrect. The stamp shows O'Connell after his release from jail in 1844, and the telegraph in Ireland was rolled out in 1851.
An Post released this statement on the error:
An Post said the stamps are an artistic representation of O'Connell and the huge impact he had in Ireland at the time.
A spokesperson said the stamps were developed by the renowned Irish designer and artist David Rooney who "included some sort of visual signal to link to the very modern global range and impact of O’Connell".
"O’Connell’s methods in terms of communications and galvanising the population were thoroughly modern, hence the inclusion of a sort of artistic anachronism to link those very points."
In other words, removing the obvious BS, it's an error

250th Anniversary of the Birth of Daniel O'Connell, one with a naked-eye error. Who can spot it?
