Career

Though he was born in Derry, Northern Ireland, O'Mahony was educated at Christian Brothers College, Cork and represented the schools seniors in the Munster Schools Rugby Senior Cup, before going on to join UCC and Cork Constitution. Strong performances in the All-Ireland League earned O'Mahony selection for Munster, where he was in competition for the starting scrum-half jersey with the experienced Michael Bradley. He won his only Ireland cap against Italy in May 1995, after both Bradley and Niall Hogan were unavailable. However, injury and the return of Bradley and Hogan meant O'Mahony was not considered for international honours again. He moved to Dublin and joined Lansdowne and Leinster but, when rugby union became openly professional in 1995, O'Mahony had to choose between a 12-month professional contract or his better-paid banking job, and ultimately chose the latter.[1]

O'Mahony remained involved with rugby through his coaching capacity, working with the Ireland Clubs team, who are represented by players from the amateur All-Ireland League, and Cork clubs Dolphin and Clonakilty.[1][2]

gollark: Just patch the interpreter?
gollark: GPUs do this, kind of. GPUs are fast. Therefore, do this.
gollark: Obvious objections:- "what do you even mean, gollark, that sounds like just ILP but stupider" - maybe, yes, the main difference being execution of separate bits of the program at once- "why did you just invent SIMD but worse, ish" - oops- "but cache contention" - too bad, consume bees
gollark: Well, the obvious* solution to program counter counterness is to just add more program counters, by which I mean hardware-accelerated greenerer threads with no context-switching overhead for more effectively utilizing execution units.
gollark: Advantages of expanding out powers:- leaves less RAM unused. Unused RAM is wasted RAM!- differentiation can be defined more lazily- palaiologos suffers- fewer rulesDisadvantages:- none
