Tinteán wishes all our readers Nollaig agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise Happy Christmas and New Year. A big thank you to all of our contributors this year and to our retiring editor Trevor McClaughlin. Beimid ar ais! We will be back in February 2024.

And we wish to thank retiring editor, Trevor McClaughlin, historian and genealogist extraordinaire, for tireless vetting, editing and writing, and inspired work on Emgirée girls. We hope he’ll be back.
We take this opportunity to let you know that we too will take a well-earned break in January, and be back in the new year invigorated for our 23rd year of operations. We also take the opportunity to reach out to anyone who would like to join our editorial team as a trainee editor, or who would like to write for Tinteán. Contact us as info@tintean.org.au We welcome well-informed articles about any aspect of Ireland and its diaspora.
Have a safe and happy holiday.
