O'Hara, Mary, 1935-
Mary O’Hara was born in 1935 in Sligo, Ireland, to John and Mai (Kirwan) O'Hara. She was the youngest of four siblings: Joan, Angela (who was raised by her paternal grandmother), and Dermot. Her family was Catholic, and faith played an important role throughout O'Hara's life.
O’Hara sang with her family from an early age and competed in the annual Easter Sligo Feis Ceóil, winning her first Children’s Cup at age 8. She attended Sion Hill boarding school, Dublin, from age 13. In 1951, Sion Hill hired harp teacher Máirín Ní Shéa to prepare several students, including O’Hara, for a pageant dedicated to the works of Thomas Moore. O’Hara continued to study singing and harp and performed on Radio Eireann before graduating in 1952.
