The Irish Kilt Club held a dinner in Dublin on Saturday 12th March to present the new O'Mahoney tartan to the Bulgarian Ambassador, Madame Blinsheze, which incorporates the colours of the Bulgarian flag.

The connection is that the head of the Clan O'Mahoney has for many years been closely involved in charity work in Bulgaria, especially children's charities.

None of the Bulgarians were wearing kilts, though the Ambassador's son (18) said he would like to get an outfit!
