Ireland is a small island with a population of around 4 million people. A country pushed into the 21st century by a decade of economic boom and a young highly educated population. A country rich in culture with a violent history of conflict against a cruel invader.

In spite of centuries of war, famine and emigration the Irish have retained a special warmth of personality and generous hospitality. We have a great awareness of our ancient and rich cultural heritage which we make tremendous efforts to preserve. The Irish language is the oldest written language in Europe after Latin and Greek. It is also an official language of the European Union sincce 2007.

Clan gatherings are essentially family heritage entertainment. They incorporate all the elements of family heritage including genealogy, family history, Irish culture, pageantry and heraldry, family and Irish heritage education and interaction with local communities and organisations. They present wonderful opportunities to exchange genealogical information and discuss family origins and history. An opportunity to experience a mixture of emotions as you wander the same boreens and visit the same homelands of your relations of generations long past. An occasion to re-discover blood relations, meet cousins long forgotten, share life experiences and renew family ties.
