President Obama raises a finger at a bar - the international signal for 'one pint of Guinness'

He said the link was first discovered the in May 2007, when the announcement was made that a Fulmuth Kearney was an ancestor of the Democratic candidate at time.

 “An uncle of mine had conducted family research at the time, had the family tree done and had been working with a family of Kearney’s in Ohio in America. Immediately we were able to make the connection because my uncle had all the groundwork done. So within an hour of the news breaking we were able to make the connection which has been confirmed and authenticated by Cannon Steven Neill as well.”

As to where he will go in Moneygall Healy says “We would hope he would visit the ancestral home, the school house that still stands that his ancestors attended and Templeharry Church where all the family were baptised and worshipped. They are all still standing and are important sites for the president to visit,” said Healy.
