'I am not 100% sure what is wrong but I know I am not right’ - Mayo's O'Hora opens up on past mental struggles

Two years on, how is he now? The 30-year-old is happy to report he’s in a positive headspace. The journey, though, is constant. It is with that in mind that he continues to attend monthly counselling.

Pádraig O’Hora and a close friend of his run a community group in Ballina. Any meetings the pair need to have concerning the community group are done outdoors and on the move.

During one such meeting two years ago, they were walking through Belleek woods just outside the town of Ballina. O’Hora’s mate sensed there was something off about him. Something slightly amiss. And so instead of keeping the conversation light and casual, as lads do best, he asked the Mayo defender what was up.
