Will Boris visit Bunratty? Now, he may well be in a stand-off with our government over the back-stop, but Britain’s new Prime Minister Boris Johnson has deep family connections in the Mid-West.
Ennis-based historian and genealogist Declan Barron has discovered that Johnson’s seventh great grandfather was a James O’Gorman born in Bunratty Castle in 1688.
The connection prompted Mayor of Clare, Cllr Cathal Crowe to invite Mr. Johnson to visit the county.
