Irish Thought for April 20

Irish Trivia

An anomaly in Irish sports is the stardom of Sean Og O'Hailpin, who appears quite a bit more Fijian than Irish.  The mother of this champion on the Cork County hurling team is from Fiji, and his father is Irish.  Hailed at various times as "Sports Personality of the Year" and "Hurler of the Year," O'Hailpin was born on an isolated, tiny atoll called Rotuma, which is approximately 400 miles north of Fiji.
