We would like to announce that as of September 1st 2012, our organisation is no longer registered with Clans of Ireland.

Between June 2011 and September 2012 this organisation was registered under the designation “Clan O’Byrne of Leinster”. However, it was decided by the board of Clans of Ireland that as there was already a Clan O’Byrne registered with them, we could no longer remain on their register.

While we do not agree with the rational behind the decision to remove Clan O’Byrne of Leinster from the Clans of Ireland register, we accept their decision.

This will in no way affect the activities of Finte O’Broin which remains one of the most active and well organised clan societies in Ireland. Our membership and influence continues to grow and we have a number of projects in the pipe line for the rest of the year and into 2013.
