Montiagh Exiles Re-Unite

In 1960, the departure of four Duggan families was a major upheaval in the village of Montiagh at the time and there were fears that they may not settle, in the Parish of Suncroft, Co. Kildare, or that it just wouldn’t work out. Kildare was a long journey away from Galway in the late fifties. Attached is an article from the Connacht Tribune Newspaper in May, 2010 when their descendants return home.
