Tributes to ‘dedicated, unflappable’ solicitor Jeremy O’Connor

Tributes were paid yesterday at Cork Circuit Court to solicitor Jeremy O’Connor, who died recently.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said he knew the deceased man and described him as a man of considerable nobility.

“Jeremy had something over and above everyone else, a massive unflappability. Anything could happen, and more often than not in civil litigation it would, and he took it in his stride. He would do nothing except shrug his shoulders, throw his eyes to heaven and drive on. He never said anything bad about anybody. He was a meticulous, dedicated solicitor,” said Judge Ó Donnabháin.
