Sometimes 'cúram' is used for family or children (or business, or responsibilities)
But I done think sept is used, at least not in modern Gaeilge. I had a check in my dictionary to be sure, and it's not in there.
I suppose every person has their own traditions, beliefs, perspective and interpretations on the matter, as this is not the first time confusion in regards to the 'whole sept issue' as come up. And I'm really not one to have a debate with my Chief, he is a retired High Court Judge! Hahaha!
