“Don in his role as director of the Cork Life Centre has shown by his example and dedication to the young people how they can make progress within a different system which places them at its very core, and which attempts to meet their unique needs and requirements. “Don’s practical and inclusive approach to embracing young people in their diversity and in the fostering of their individual unique abilities makes Don and the Cork Life Centre a worthy recipient of the Spirit of Mother Jones award for 2022,” he said.
A father of two, Mr O’Leary has spoken recently about how he has responded to being diagnosed with terminal cancer, telling the Echo that the Cork Life Centre has an excellent staff and they will continue after he is gone while he has enjoyed every single day working at the centre.
