Civic reception to cap O’Gara’s achievements

IRISH rugby star Ronan O’Gara is to be accorded a civic reception in Cork within weeks to mark his 100th Irish cap.

There was unanimous support for the Lord Mayor Cllr Michael O’Connell when he proposed the event last night.

“He is a stalwart of Cork, Munster and Irish rugby. It is a fantastic achievement in any sport to rise to that level,” Cllr O’Connell said.
