Very positive of Ian d’Alton’s volume of his essays on Southern Irish Protestants. The review, in the Irish Times, is by Professor Alvin Jackson. He generously references my Foreword to Ian’s book in his review.

I loved Tasmania: Port Arthur and Museum of Modern Art (of course). But take a tour of the Parliament Building & see the portrait of Edmund Dwyer Gray Jr (of the family that owned the Freeman’s Journal, premier of Tasmania 1939). In Melbourne, take a tour of the old jail.
