Springboks reaping benefit of Cork man’s charity

THERE’S been higher profile Irish exports to South Africa, but not many have made as deep an impression as Cork man Barry O’Mahony has in his 16 years in this country.

The ex-UCC and Oxford University back-rower played for Munster and also won an Irish A (then known as ‘B’) cap before putting down roots in Cape Town after a tour with the English University.

These days, alongside his wealth management consultancy business, he is still giving something back to rugby, perhaps more than he got out of it.
