Irish Kennedy Clan Gathering 2024
If you’re a Kennedy, or have Kennedy ancestry , then Saturday next 13th of July 2024 is a date for your diary. On that day Kennedys from across Ireland will be joined by distant cousins from Australia to the United States and countries in between to retrace the steps of our ancestors in North Tipperary .We will gather at The Heritage Centre in Nenagh at 9.45am on the Saturday morning to view the recently updated Irish Kennedy Heritage Group Display housed in the Heritage Centre. You will be able to view a thousand years of Kennedy History in Upper and Lower Ormond from the time of Brian Ború right up to the present day. Genealogical charts covering 30 generations of Kennedy ancestry , copies of original land leases from as far back as the 1700’s and copies of ancient treaties between the Kennedys and the Butler lords are all on display. A local guide will take us on a tour of the Old Nenagh Gaol and talk us through the typical life of a prisoner in the olden days.
Following a break to allow for some free exploration of Nenagh town and its environs – the nearby historic centre and castle, we will reconvene at Garrykennedy Harbour for a tranquil cruise of Lough Derg. From there we will retire to Larkin’s Bar, Garrykennedy for an evening meal and a night-time of chat and relaxation
