It’s not often a West Donegal man can have a chat with the Chief of Staff of the American army.
But then again it’s probably a little known fact that the world’s most powerful military officer has very strong Donegal connections.
In fact, General Martin Dempsey has a lot of cousins in Donegal including Gortahork and Annagry.
His grandfather, John Og Devenney, left Ranafast in 1926 to travel to America.
And one of those cousins, the well-known Donnchadh Devenney joined General Dempsey for a chin-wag in New York on St.Patrick’s Day.
