 “Cara’s parents, Donal and Anne, were family friends. I was the head of the Singing Department in the Cork School of Music and the O’Sullivans really were the backbone of St Francis Choir. So Cara was a part of my life, a regular visitor to my home. They used to come to our holiday home in West Cork.
