Dear Clan Members,

We are pleased to inform you that we will be organising the 11th International O’Dea Clan Gathering weekend from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th July 2022, at the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis, Co Clare.  This will be a slimmed down event and we expect that numbers attending will be lower due to ongoing Covid restrictions, however restrictions have gradually eased in Ireland with our high uptake of vaccinations and booster shots.

Clan Members will be able to attend in Person or participate in selected sessions via Zoom.

We are limiting numbers able to attend to 60 participants on a first come basis and a non-refundable holding deposit of €50 per person will be required with your Expression of Interest to attend the weekend.  The programme of weekend events will be similar to previous Clan gatherings.

The organisers are looking forward to another exciting and most enjoyable Clan gathering this year and look forward to renewing old acquaintances and meeting new attendees.

Message from the Clan Chieftain about the Next Clan Gathering in Ireland

Dysert O`Dea Clan > Blog > Archives

Here is a message from Joan Koechig, the Clan Chieftain:

Greetings from St. Charles, Missouri.

I hope it is cooler where you live. Nothing like living in Missouri in July and August with our heat and humidity!!!

I wanted to let you know that a decision has been made about our International Get-Together in Ennis, County Clare. For a variety of reasons that all revolve around Covid-19, the decision has been made to push our next get-together from July 2021 to July 2022. I hope you understand. These are trying times that we are living through.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy.

Dysert O`Dea Clan > Blog > Archives

Here is a message on behalf of the Taoiseach (Clan Chieftain), Joanie Koechig.

The Clan Association is looking for a Clan Member to take on the role of Editor for the Clan Newsletter.

Catlyn O’Day Preston is the current Editor and has been doing a great job many years now.  She feels as though it’s time for someone else to take on this role.

This is a voluntary position which is supported by a team of 6 other volunteers including an Assistant Editor, 2 Proof-readers, and 3 members who handle the newsletter distribution by post and email in different parts of the world.

This is an excellent way to become more involved in Clan activities and contribute to the Clan’s vitality.

If you are interested in taking on this role, or if you need more information, please contact Joanie:
