PAUDCAST star Pádraig O'Callaghan who was crowned Limerick Person of the Year for 2021 earlier today, says he couldn't believe it when his name was announced.
The 12-year-old from Knockainey received his award at an in-person ceremony which took place at the Clayton Hotel in Limerick city.
“It’s absolutely sensational, I couldn’t believe it at first. I wasn’t expecting it at all,” said Pádraig after he was presented with the trophy.
His father Brian added: “For Padraig to share the same stage as others who are held in such high regard is phenomenal, and for him to win the award, I can’t actually put into words how proud I am of him and his achievements and all the other nominees.”
