Mayor tested for Connemara roots in Portland

This is the final week of the Mayoral campaign in Boston with Marty Walsh – the son of Connemara emigrants running neck and neck with his opponent, John Connolly.

Further north in Portland – the largest city in Maine – the Mayor’s chair is occupied by Michael Brennan whose grandmother was a native of Inishnee, near Roundstone

They even tested the Mayors roots and his DNA is found in Inishnee and on both sides of Bertraghboy Bay in west Connemara.
