Yes. Centra does sell stamps.
If you absolutely have no time to stop by the post office, you can just pass by Centra or even buy stamps online. You can also find plenty of other things. It’s truly a jack of all trades.
It’s one of the few places from which you can buy stamps on the weekend when the post office is closed.
Buying Postage Stamps From Centra
Centra is one of the biggest convenience shop chains in Ireland. With over 450 stores around the country, you can rest assured you’ll find one nearby to get stamps in a rush.
The postage stamps are sold at the same price as the post office. Despite its availability, we recommend you always call or email the store to check if they have what you’re looking for.
The website isn’t very clear about the availability of stamps in individual stores. However, you can find it clearly stated that discount vouchers can’t be earned by postage stamps.
Stamps are priced at basically the same pricing of the post office. The standard domestic stamp is sold at €1.10, while a standard international stamp is sold at €1.80.

Online Shopping From Centra
Centra offers the great advantage of beating the queue. You can order whatever you need and either, have it delivered, or just collect it from there ready to go.
