Official Statements and Declarations of The MacCarthy Reagh
The official findings that the chiefship of MacCarthy Reagh is both de facto and de jure vacant because there is no legitimately recognized chief, the last recognized chiefly male line (Florence/Finghin of Benduff and the senior chiefly geilfine) is extinct, and the only modern claimant (the MacCarthy-Willis-Bund line) lacked a valid tanistry/derbhfine process and was not the senior surviving branch. Concluding that because the two remaining proven descendant branches cannot have their seniority credibly determined from the surviving evidence, an Ad Hoc Derbhfine should be convened to elect a legitimate Chief of the Name.
The official notice to the hereditary dearbhfhine of the last MacCarthy Reagh chief, Florence of Banduff (i.e. the proven agnatic descendants of his great-grandfather, Donal na Pipi).

The official endorsement from the hereditary Brehon of The MacCarthy Mór.
The official endorsement from the Chief of the Name O'Sullivan Mór as the senior representative of the Eoghanachta.
