Baltimore i wyspy Cape Clear, Sherkin i Heir były siedzibą klanu O'Driscoll od 1000 lat. Jest mnóstwo ludzi o nazwisku O'Driscoll mieszkających w okolicy, którzy mogą to dzisiaj udowodnić. Coroczne czterodniowe zebrania dają, rodzinom O'Driscoll przebywającym w różnych częściach świata, szansę na nowo odkryć swoje korzenie. Istnieje wiele różnych wydarzeń podczas tego weekendu, w tym kulturalne i edukacyjne, rozrywkowe (tradycyjne i nie tylko), i wiele towarzyskich. Na zakończenie inauguracji wybiera się nowego wodza Klanu O'Driscoll.
