Melbourne teen with Mullingar roots meets his Mullingar hero

Aaron O’Hara, son of Alan O’Hara, Melbourne and late of Sunday’s Well, Mullingar, had a dream come true when he met up with Irish rugby star, Dan Leavy – whose father, Donal, also hails from Mullingar – following Ireland’s first test match against Australia in Brisbane last Saturday week. Aaron is the grandson of well known Mullingar couple, John and Kathleen O’Hara, who is a very good friend of Dan’s grandmother, Joan Leavy from Ballinderry, Mullingar. Both ladies are highly regarded members of Mullingar Golf Club.
