It is additionally stated that the new Mac Carthy Mór  succeeds both
by the Gaelic system of Tanistry and by primogeniture, that he is also
Prince of Desmond, that he has designated his son as his Tanist or
successor and bestowed on him his secondary title of the 'Lordship of
Kerslawny'. More disturbingly, it is alleged that the chiefship claim
'is supported by the June, 2009, verification of Liam Trant McCarthy’s
pedigree by Norroy and Ulster King of Arms (in Ref. R.P. 09/192)'. It
is difficult to believe that the College of Arms in London would agree
to substitute in any way for the wretched Office of the Chief Herald
in Dublin, which until its withdrawal from the game in 2003 had been
rubber-stamping the pretensions of Terence MacCarthy and other
spurious and questionable claimants to Gaelic chiefship. The new
website has a link to a revised article on 'Tanistic succession' by
'The O'Cahan', and in general it is extremely disappointing that the
claimant should have acquiesced in the adoption of so much of the
exploded jargon and fantasies devised by Terence MacCarthy and his
circle.

There is a McCarthy pedigree recorded in 2009 by the College of Arms:

http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/Newsletter/023.htm#Recently_Recorded_Pedigrees_

"MCCARTHY: a pedigree of six generations shows a descent to the
present day from Daniel McCarthy of Srugrena, who in 1841 married
Ellen daughter of Patrick Trant of Portmagee, Co. Kerry. Connected
with Woodman. College reference: Norfolk 51/162"

I note that the reference differs from the one quoted above. The way
I read the "support" is that the College's recorded pedigree is
included within the claim not that the College supports the claim.
