Anyone interested in the history of Dunmanway and the history of Togher and Togher Castle  in particular should attend The Homecoming of the Daniel Mac Carthy Glas Archive and The Mac Carthy Cultural and Historical Weekend from the 26th to the 28th of May. The weekend has been inspired by the life and work of Daniel MacCarthy Glas (1807 – 1884) who devoted many years of research into the genealogy of the MacCarthys in general and his own family in particular. His research, resulted in an enormous volume of correspondence not just with Irish addresses, but with McCarthys in North America and elsewhere, as Daniel himself lived at various times in England, South Africa, Italy and France. This family archive, with the generosity of its most recent holder, is now to come to rest in the land of his paternal ancestors.
