London calling: Community throws party for local hero

IT was the veritable mother of all parties to celebrate a local hero with a heart of gold.

Dan Tim O’Sullivan is a remarkably popular Kerryman who made it big in London, having emigrated as a teenager. But he never forgot where he came from and has always been prepared to help people and worthy causes.

The other night, he went out with his wife, Sheila, and family for what he thought would be a relaxing meal to celebrate his 50th birthday at the Ross Inn, in his native Glenbeigh.
