He was at right corner-back when the club won the All-Ireland Club Championship in 1996. [3] O'Halloran first appeared on the inter-county scene when he earned a call-up to the Clare under-21 hurling team in 1992, however, he left the panel before the start of the championship. He returned to inter-county activity as a member of the senior team under Ger Loughnane in 1994. Over the following four seasons he was part of two All-Ireland Championship-winning teams and also claimed three Munster Championship medals.
