The Clan Committee would appreciate if everyone would contribute their knowledge of things Gallagher, whether it be connected to their own or their family’s story or if their own area of interest can throw some light on a particular Gallagher, events that Gallaghers might have been/ are involved in or any other facet of the global Gallagher heritage. We are interested not only in the famous / infamous – and there were a few of those down the years - but also in the lives and times of all our people. The Committee would also like to receive submissions and news items for our website. Items and artefacts are also welcome for our heritage collection.
The organisation is yours, the committee are but facilitators. It needs your help, advice and involvement to make it an organisation worthy of such a renowned clan. We need you to take this site as your own because it belongs to you and all of us if we have an interest in the Gallagher story.
