The Kilruane MacDonaghs player helped Tipperary win two All-Ireland senior titles.
The 30-year-old was part of two Liam MacCarthy triumphs with the Tipperary hurlers. He came on as a substitute in the 2016 final win over Kilkenny and then started in the 2019 success, scoring a brilliant first-half goal in that Croke Park clash.
Tipperary boss Liam Cahill described O’Meara as someone who ‘exemplified the spirit of a team player, devoid of ego.’ “For as long as I can remember I always wanted to wear the blue and gold jersey and luckily since 2010 playing on the minor hurling and football teams I had the opportunity, something I will always cherish.
