In relation to Dunne --> Conroy, just found this:
http://archives.tcm.ie/laoisnationalist/1999/09/18/story3762.asp

*book launch:* A history of the O'Dunnes entitled 'Duthai Ui Riagain'
written by Seosam MacCaba, a native of Clonaslee will be launched at a
special function taking place in the local Heritage Centre on Friday,
September 24 at 8 pm. The book which was recently published by the author's
daughter Mary McCabe should be of interest to numerous people not least of
whom bear the name Dunne or *Conroy (a branch of the Dunne clan)* as well as
many others throughout the Slieve Bloom area of which the Dunne's were
Chieftans. Seosam MacCaba (Joe McCabe) was headmaster for many years. Paddy
Heaney, local historian will perform the honours at the launch which is
being organised by local man Michael Dunne. All are welcome to attend and
the book will be on sale for those who wish to purchase a first edition.

That would seem to confirm my story.

Cheers,
Paul
