They left a couple of years later. One was eight and the other was 12," Noel told the microphones. The Irishman added: "When I was young I was told there was family in Argentina and Australia. Finally, on the change in the spelling of the surname, he said: "The 'Mac' is Irish for 'Mc', maybe when I was filling in forms, the 'Mc' didn't make sense to them, so they changed it to 'Mac'.
