Murtagh, O' Moriarty, O' Muircheartaigh.
Moriarty is the English version of the Irish O Muircheartaigh, made up of muir, ‘sea’ and ceardach, ‘skilled’ therefore ‘one skilled in the ways of the sea’. This name has always been associated with Co. Kerry. Their original territory lay on both sides of Castlemaine Harbour. Nowadays over 80% of Moriarty births are registered in County Kerry.

Moss stitch symbolises nature, and the diamond stitch represents a wish for wealth.

It comes to you complete with a Clan history and crest. It is made of 100% pure new wool, is water repellent and breathable. It has been hand crafted in the traditional Irish style, and with care, will last a lifetime.
