Tributes have been paid following the sudden death of a man described as a champion of those on the margins and a powerhouse of social inclusion in Cork city.

This month’s online meeting of Cork City Council was suspended as a mark of respect to Tony Power, 57, who had been found dead at home just a few hours earlier.
