Sad to be leaving Delhi after an amazing week at Miranda House. It was lovely to speak with students and to meet lots of people doing interesting research on Indo-Irish connections. Thanks to

CĂ©ad mĂle fĂĄilte to the Derry Girls. This image appears in the Melbourne Advocate in July 1911 and relates to some 34 shirt workers who went to Melbourne to help set up the Welch Margetson Factory there. The workforce in Derry was unmatched and world leading in skill and quality.
