O'Dochartaigh Clann Reunion (Ireland) 2025
After many months of planning, we are delighted to launch the brand new itinerary for the O’Dochartaigh Clann Reunion (Ireland) 2025 to be held in Inishowen Peninsula, Co. Donegal and Derry City, Co. Derry 16 - 22 July next year.
We sincerely hope that you will be able attend this CLANN GATHERING IN IRELAND to celebrate kinship ties with O’Dochartaigh Clann Cousins from around the world. At our last Reunion in 2023, we welcomed over two hundred delegates - a few of them are featured in the photos on this page. We are hopeful that many of you will return and are excited to welcome many more to join us in 2025.
There have been a few changes in format thanks to the wonderful and welcome feedback that we received from some of you over the past 12 months. The new itinerary is reflective of the great ideas that you shared, as well as retaining some of the favourite events we are sure that you will be delighted to take part in!
There are some constraints in this part of Ireland with regard to venue size*, therefore we have limited space in terms of numbers. However, we have attempted to create events which can be enjoyed by as many as are willing to make the special journey to Ireland. There will also be more opportunities to socialise outwith the main itinerary events this time around so look out for these fringe events closer to the time.
*The ticket numbers for the Reunion are strictly limited and so we would advise you to purchase them as soon as possible (particularly if you have a larger family group) - once the limit has been reached, there will be no additional availability unfortunately.
