Rory O'Carroll is different. 5 x All-Ireland titles with Dublin- but decided to leave the most successful team of all time and go travelling. Life is too short. That journey brought him working in a women’s prison in New Zealand, learning new languages and a new perspective. Following your dreams. Rory has won two All-Ireland football titles with Kilmacud Crokes and was playing in the infamous Glen final earlier this year- should it have been replayed? Rory gives his answer.
In 2013, Rory was visibly concussed while playing Mayo. The final 10 minutes was a haze. What was that experience like and what are the learnings? All-stars, International Rules, All-Ireland titles with club and county- but success doesn't define him- or come close. Rory is a Social worker, involved with the Travelling community, children and working in prisons. It's a challenging job- but he loves what he does. It's a facinating insight into a challenging career that Rory was born to do.
Cut from different cloth, with a unique outlook on life- it's the brilliant Rory O'Carroll on the GAA Social.
