At just 11-years-old, Ollie O’Meara is already holding his own among an elite group — the smartest people in the country, as judged by Mensa.

The bubbly kid from Clare will be among hundreds attending the Irish Mensa Annual Gathering at the Rose Hotel,  Tralee, this Saturday. The event is also inviting individuals to participate in a testing session to determine their IQ,  and potentially earn them an invitation to join the exclusive club.
