O'Halloran
O'Halloran is the surname of the ultimate and at least two distinct Gaelic-Irish families, one in County Galway and another in south-east County Clare linked to the Dál gCais. On occasions it is translated as ''"stranger" or "from across the sea".'' The name states that this family were "importers" and were the lords, and dominant sept of Clan Fergail ( Clann Fhearghaile). In the twelfth century the O'Hallorans were chiefs of twenty-four town lands of the ''túath'' of Clan Fergail. These lay east to the river of ''Galmith'' (or "Galway"). In the 13th century the O'Hallorans were dispossessed of their ancient inheritance of Clan Fergail by the " De Burgos" (Burke) invaders. The O'Hallorans and the O'Flahertys were obliged to emigrate to Iar (west) Connaught, where they built the castle of O'Hery. The motto of the Galway family is ''Clann Fearghaile Abú'', which comes from their dynastic name. Name Variations include: O'Halleron, O'Hollearn, Halloran, Holloran, Hollern, Halor ...

His new coach, Frank Guthrie, overhauled his training regimen, and within a year O'Halloran had reduced his times by approximately ten percent. He gained Olympic selection in the relay and the 400-metre freestyle. O'Halloran led off the Australian quartet on the way to a new world record, before placing sixth in the 400-metre.
