New genealogy research commissioned by The Gathering will be revealed next Wednesday that proves Tom Cruise is more Irish than we thought with research revealing that there is another branch of his family that lived in Co. Dublin, a definitive blood line.

Jetting into Dublin next Wednesday for the premiere of his new movie 'Oblivion', Tom is scheduled to be presented a Certificate of Irish Ancestry from the Department of Foreign Affairs, which well and truly confirms Tom's Irish pedigree.

Tom Cruise's visit to Ireland will be hosted by Universal Pictures International Ireland and according to the studio's Irish General Manager, Dave Burke:

“We are thrilled Tom is returning to Ireland to launch his latest movie, Oblivion. It's a huge bonus that we can share this new information with Tom about his Dublin heritage.”

Also accompanying Tom on his visit are director Joseph Kosinki and leading lady, former Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko. The premiere, in Dublin's Savoy Cinema, is set to be one of the biggest red carpet events ever seen in the city.
