While we in Australia have the longest summer holidays in December/January, our readers in the other continents might also be interested in the list below as holiday reading or re-reading. These are ‘the top twenty’ i.e. the most read articles in Tinteán from 2018-2023. They range from Irish orphan history, to the Irish travelling community, Irish language interest, current affairs and popular culture. We would like to offer buíochas mór ó chroí, a thank you from the heart, to our contributors. Writers and editors, we are all part of the voluntary Tinteán endeavour to share our interest in Irish history, language, and culture in Australia and throughout the world. Tinteán has a readership that spans all continents. You can ‘search’ for any of these below on the Tinteán front page.
