The Companionate of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich is an honour bestowed on clansmen and non clansmen who have demonstrated exceptional and continued support to the traditional Brehon and Gaelic culture of Ireland through their contribution to the life of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich, protecting, enriching and promoting its patrimony. Many clans and Gaelic Houses have formed their respective Companionate, just to name a few: O'Cahan, O'Neil Clanaboy, O'Carroll, and O'Connor. As independent private organisations it is the prerogative of Irish clans and Gaelic houses to form such companionate. Foundation of the Companionate It is an integral part of and within the community of Clann Ui Chruadhlaoich. It is endorsed and supported by the Clan Council or Derbhfine, who will propose nominees to the Companionate. The Companionate is not a knighthood, nor does it claim to any historical continuity, and it bears no relationship to any existing or past order of knighthood. It is a recognition which is granted by a private organization, our clan, Clann Ui Chrudadhlaoich. The design of the Companionate Badge is the property of the clan through the Clan Council and shall never be reproduced other than by the Council itself. Governance The Companionate shall be headed by a Chancellery composed of a Chancellor and two Vice Chancellors. The Chancellor and the two Vice Chancellors shall be elected for a term of three years, renewable, by the Clan Council.
