CLANS OF IRELAND Ltd. is a non-profit organisation set up in 1989 under the auspices of the Irish Tourist Board (Bord Failte) and the Heritage Section of the Department of the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) in order to help publicise and give advice on the organisation of clan rallies in Ireland.  Many rallies have already been held and they formed a major part of the Irish Homecoming Festival in 1992, other gatherings are due to be held this year, and more will be held in 1994.

Some Irish surnames have roots originating in the 5th century A.D. and earlier.  Some descend from kings and ruling families who were prominent in Irish history while others descend from famous intellectual or bardic families who preserved the history and culture of their nation for posterity.  They all represent the rich fabric of Irish society and have contributed to our ancient culture and heritage.  You are invited to celebrate and share in this heritage by participating in this movement, and even visiting the homes of your ancestors.

The following list may well include a surname in which you are interested, but even if your name does not appear, and you have an IRISH surname, the CLANS OF IRELAND may still have information of interest to you.
