Stars line up to pay tribute to legend O’Gara

Ronan O’Gara’s testimonial dinner in Cork next month is the hottest ticket in town — and that’s official.

The glittering Oct 24 soiree at City Hall for one of Cork’s favourite sporting sons sold all 600 seats at up to €350 a head without promotion. Organisers are now considering rethinking the capacity for the event.

The demand for tickets underlines the remarkably high esteem in which the Munster, Ireland, and Lions legend is held, said organising committee chair Michael O’Flynn.
