Six Scribes – One Book – Three Launch Dates.
Six Scribes:
The six named scribes of a new book, entitled “Winter Miscellany”, latter to be launched this month, are Maura Barett; Brian Clancy; Pat Griffin; Paul Keating; Paul Maher and Jasper Murphy.
One Book:
“Winter Miscellany” has already received glowing reviews from Mr Donal Ryan (Irish novelist and short story writer); Mr Cónal Creedon (former ‘Writer in Residence’ at University College Cork), and Mr John MacKenna (Irish playwright and novelist).
The stories and poems contained in this new collection are all ‘winter themed’ and represent a broad and diverse range of sources, as can be observed by their variety and narrative approaches. There is adventure on every page, as the readers, in their minds eye, witness an entire spectrum of human emotions and experience.
These characters get into all manner of scrapes. One swings for an ex with a hurley; one witnesses his own funeral; while another navigates the shady sheets of 1980’s Moscow.
With a signed copy of this book, making it the perfect Xmas Gift; these deftly crafted stories are much complimented by haunting, winter themed artwork, authored by the students of the Central Technical Institute (CTI), situated at Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.

The Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Mr James Browne, TD, will today, host the annual ceremony to mark the tenth national Missing Persons Day.
Missing Persons Day is an annual commemorative day for families and friends to remember their missing loved ones. Missing Persons Day also provides a nationwide platform to appeal to the public for information on missing persons.
To mark national “Missing Persons Day”, a commemorative ceremony is hosted each year. The ceremony features spoken contributions from families of missing persons, as well as speeches from the Garda Commissioner Mr Drew Harris, and others including state and voluntary organisations, expert practitioners and academics. This year’s ceremony is compèred by Mr Barry Cummins, (RTE’s Prime Time Security Correspondent).
2022 marks the welcome return of an in-person ceremony, following the delivery of online commemorative ceremonies in 2020 and 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s ceremony takes place at Croke Park. The ceremony will also be livestreamed on the Department’s website, enabling those who are unable to attend in person or are living overseas, to view proceedings.
Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Minister Browne said: “National Missing Persons Day is an important date in our national calendar. The objective of Missing Persons Day is twofold: the Missing Persons Day ceremony offers families and friends of missing people the opportunity to gather together to commemorate their loved ones; while Missing Persons Day equally provides a critical national focal point to raise awareness of Ireland’s missing persons.
I want to use today to echo the central messages we communicate each year. If you have information, no matter how minor it may appear, I would urge you to please come forward and share this information with An Garda Síochána. Any information has the potential to make a contribution to resolving a missing person case.
I also want to encourage families of missing persons who have yet to provide a DNA sample to consider doing so. Your DNA sample will be compared with samples held on Ireland’s DNA database to check if a matching sample of DNA is already stored on the database. Forensic scientists are available at today’s ceremony to take your DNA sample, or you can provide a DNA sample to Gardaí. The collection and matching of DNA samples has made a crucial contribution to several missing persons cases in this country in recent years.”
Also speaking ahead of the ceremony, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has stated,
“An Garda Síochána has a duty to establish the facts about those who have gone missing in Ireland. The Garda Missing Persons Bureau and Gardaí nationwide work hard to locate all those who go missing. This can sometimes require our close co-operation with international policing partners including Europol and Interpol.
In recent years, there has been a greater, collective focus on ensuring families are kept informed of the progress of investigations. The tools available to us to investigate missing persons also continue to expand and improve. Advances in DNA Tracking and the establishment of a National Missing Persons DNA database place us in a far stronger position to identify those who have gone missing.
We urge anyone with information linked with the disappearance of a person, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to please come forward and speak with a member of An Garda Síochána.”
This year, families of missing people are being encouraged to provide a DNA sample, to Gardaí, at an annual ceremony marking National Missing Persons Day.
Minister Browne added: “On this significant anniversary of Ireland’s national Missing Persons Day, I am delighted to launch an information guide for families and friends of missing persons. The guide seeks to act as a signpost to information on justice sector agencies and their role in missing persons’ cases. Additional information on other State, support and voluntary organisations is also included in the guide.
Missing Persons Day is an all-Ireland commemorative day and I am particularly pleased that the PSNI will speak at this year’s ceremony for the first time. My Department greatly appreciates the long-standing support for Missing Persons Day from a range of organisations in Northern Ireland.
My special thanks goes to the families of missing people who will speaking at this years ceremony. I also want to thank all who have supported Missing Persons Day since its inception. Thanks to your support Missing Persons Day can continue to evolve over the coming decade.”
This year’s ceremony commences at 11:15am and is livestreamed at National Missing Person’s Day Ceremony 2022 – YouTube and via social channels (Twitter, Facebook and YouTube). The ceremony will also be available to be watched on the Department’s website, at any point after the conclusion of the event.
