Paul O’Connell’s firm has €1.3m cash pile

Irish rugby legend Paul O’Connell’s commercial firm has amassed a cash pile of almost €1.3m.

The iconic figure of world and Irish rugby retired from the game earlier this year after sustaining a severe hamstring injury in the World Cup game against France.

The Limerick man had been trying to overcome his injury to play for his new side, French club Toulon, before accepting medical advice and confirming his retirement in February.
