The world record for most people with the same surname gathered in the same place has been broken.
Previously held by the Gallaghers, wrote themselves into the Guinness World Records on 9 September 2007 - when 1,488 Gallaghers gathered in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, Ireland – the record has been smashed by the O’Sullivans in County Cork.
O’Sullivan Clan Gathering organiser Jim O’Sullivan, from Castletownbere in west Cork, told The Irish Times that more than 3,350 O’Sullivans or Sullivans registered to attend the gathering, which began on Saturday and lasts until tomorrow.
