Crowds bid final farewell to Cork business ‘legend’ James O’Sullivan

Hundreds of mourners came to bid a final farewell to one of Cork’s most prominent businessmen and philanthropists, James O’Sullivan, yesterday.

The town of Carrigaline came to a standstill to pay their respects to the 58-year director of wholesalers M&P O’Sullivan, who served on three separate occasions as president of the Cork Business Association.

Mr O’Sullivan, who was crowned Corkonian of the Year last December, was described by chief celebrant Fr Pat Fogarty as deserving of being called a ‘legend’.
