Limerick’s Jackie McCarthy O’Brien has been featured on Vodafone’s “Ireland’s Ball” campaign to celebrate the creation of a unique rugby ball.
The ball has been designed with a bespoke grip containing the fingerprints of 32 different people from every county in Ireland, symbolising our connection to each other and to Irish rugby.
McCarthy O’Brien holds the accomplishment that very few in this country hold – to represent her country in both Rugby and Football.
Check out her story in the video below:
