According to the Clare County Library, County Clare was named for the Irish word clar, meaning "plank" or "board" used for crossing the River Fergus outside Ennis at present-day Clarecastle, not for the de Clare family as is commonly believed.

Located in the Mid-West of Ireland, Clare is a county of world-famous geology, music, agriculture and hospitality. That's according to my own personal research. :-)

Here's hoping you can make the journey back home someday! Slainte!
