I can see why the IRA might favour this but not the Irish government. I don't suppose Guevara himself would have been too keen since he's on record for standing for the gradual withering away of money.

InactiveAre we talking about the First Minister of the Central Bank of Cuba ? Are we talking about a man that always carried on his wrist a 10,000 dollars Rolex watch ? In Bolivia they have dedicated a church to Saint Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, the patrons of the Bolivian peasants. Socialist has been turned into a joke by the leftwingers PS He had Irish ancestors

KeymasterI didn't realise that his father was called Lynch and was of Irish origin. You live and learm:https://www.pri.org/stories/2017-10-13/ireland-celebrates-che-guevaras-irish-roots-stamp-despite-oppositionAnd I'd forgotten the irony of someone who said he wanted to see the end of money being in charge the country's central bank.

KeymasterNext they'll be doing stamps for Bernardo O'Higgins, who led the struggle for Chile's independence from Spain, and President MacMahon of France. Or perhaps they already have. Just checked. They did for O'Higgins:https://www.stampnews.com/stamps/stamps_2010/stamp_1288619010_107115.html

InactiveIrish were welcomed in Latin America and several of them became landowners and participated in the anti-colonial struggle, but they were not welcome in the USA. Their struggle was similar to the struggle of the black slaves, natives, latinos and asianhttp://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/generationemigration/2013/02/12/when-the-irish-became-white-immigrants-in-mid-19th-century-us/https://www.amazon.com/Irish-Became-White-Routledge-Classics/dp/0415963095/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511095950&sr=1-1
