Clan O'Dwyer
O'Dwyer ( Irish: ''Ó Dubhuir''), also known as Dwyer, Dyer is one of Ireland's oldest Gaelic noble or aristocratic houses, based most prominently in what is today County Tipperary.

Ancestry A claimed ancestor of the O'Dwyer clan was King Milesius of Spain, who according to legend conquered Ireland for the Gaels.
