Muireann O’Connell on the inspiring families she met at Share A Dream

Ahead of the Dream Ball this weekend, Muireann O’Connell chats to Ciara McDonnell about the inspiring families she has met at Share A Dream.

Muireann O’Connell is a crier. She cries at pictures of puppies and when she hears stories of people having a hard time. When I call her up to chat about the upcoming Dream Ball for the Share A Dream Foundation, where she’ll be presenting awards to eight children who have displayed incredible courage in the face of sickness, she’s concerned about her ability to get through the gig without losing it completely.
