Rod says ' My father never visited Ireland, but he used to say that we were descended from ancient kings. This thought captured my imagination. Irish history has been a continuing interest and, when my father died I set out to see what part our name had played over the centuries. 'O'Donoghue - People and Places' and The O'Donoghue Society are the result'.
