Rónán Ó Flatharta is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for An Ghaeltacht[1] and at senior level for the Kerry county team.[2]

He provides defensive cover for Kerry as a wing-back. Ó Flatharta made two appearances for Kerry in 2007, both in the National Football League against Limerick and Fermanagh.[3] He did not feature in the Munster Senior Football Championship or All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, both of which Kerry won by beating Cork in each final. He played wing back in the National Football League final in 2008 when Kerry lost to Derry.

Ó Flatharta is known for his tough play. In the Fermanagh game he received two yellow cards, and was sent off by the referee.[2]
