Dear ITAA Members, 

My name is Jason Brennan, and along with my fellow TA colleagues 

• John Fleming, 
• Eithna Coen,
•  Juanita Husbands,
•  Jacapo Pozzerlle, and 
• Colm Grogan

I would like to announce that it is with great pleasure we share with you the formation of a new TA association: The Irish Association of Transactional Analysis (TIATA). 

TA has officially landed in Ireland! 

Recently we created a constitution and applied to the companies registration of Ireland for TIATA to be recognized as an official association. 

We also reached out to a number of contacts we have in Ireland, which were a mix of individuals studying TA, TA professionals, and people interested in TA. We have now formed an executive committee to begin preparing for 

• our official launch in the coming months and
• to develop a strategy to inform the Island of Ireland that TIATA exists, 
• promote TA and its applications, and 
• explore what the various avenues are to pursue TA training. 

We have created a website (www.tiata.ie) and a contact email (hello@tiata.ie). We hope to hold our first annual general membership meeting (AGM) before the end of this year. 

Our main aim is to be a hub for people, groups, and organizations interested in TA in Ireland, to bring them together to learn and share TA, and to broaden the understanding and application of TA in Ireland. 

We are looking forward to the support and guidance of the ITAA and, of course, other TA associations worldwide..If you would like to become an international supporting member of our organization, we would very much appreciate your support. You can apply on our website. We are always open for support and contact and invite any and all ITAA members to reach out to us to help support the growth of TA in Ireland and to help us along the way. 

We also look forward to participating in future conferences and, indeed, to being able to host something ourselves in the distant future. Until then, Céad míle fáilte (one hundred thousand warm welcomes) from the “emerald isle” of Ireland. Kind regards, TIATA Executive Committee
