A chara, Cois abhann Gleanna an Cheime In Uibh Laoghaire sea bhimse

So sang the poetess of the O'Learys, Maire Bhui Ni Laoghaire, after the Battle of Ceim an Fhia in 1822. On September 6th, 7th and 8th, in Uibh Laoghaire (embracing part of Co Cork from the Pass of Keimaneigh, through Inchigeela to the Gearagh, for long the patrimony of the O'Learys), descendants of Laoghaire from as far away as New Zealand and South America will gather to explore their roots and enjoy an informal weekend in the tranquil fastness of their ancient territory.
