O’Hara: ‘I am not over 90, I am 90’

ARTS and Culture Minister Jimmy Deenihan got a public but polite rebuke yesterday from Hollywood legend Maureen O’Hara when he broached her age at a function she attended in Co Limerick.

Opening a new exhibit at Foynes Flying Boat Museum, Mr Deenihan praised Ms O’Hara as “a great example to people over 90” years of age.

Ms O’Hara, sitting with about 150 guests, interjected: “I am not over 90, I am 90 and will not be 91 until the 17th of August.”
