Bride and groom, Deirdre O’Sullivan and Patrick Mannix, returned to 'where it all started' for their big day. Deirdre, from Cork, and Killarney native Patrick were married on July 31 in the Church of the Holy Spirit, Muckross, Killarney, by Fr Niall Howard.

The 100-feet tall redwood Tree of Light at St Mary’s Cathedral was a festive focal point late last year when it was illuminated for Christmas. “The Tree of Light was where I proposed to Deirdre on Dec 21, 2019,” said Patrick.
