Relaunch Of An Tearmann

THS are delighted to announce the relaunch of the the An Tearmann Historical Journal.

This will be the tenth addition of An Tearmann a series of publications which originated in 1978. From the beginning the An Tearman project was spearheaded by the late Paddy Grogan and proved to be a valuable collection of local history. The current THS committee hope to do justice to the original concept with this study of previously unrecorded topics and photographs.
