The son of John Mullins moved an entire congregation to tears with his moving eulogy in which he described his father’s “larger than life nature” and “unending ambition".

Tánaiste Simon Harris and Taoiseach Micheál Martin were among the many who turned out to pay their respects to the former chief executive of Bord Gáis, and group chairman of clean energy firm Amarenco Solar during his Liturgy of the Word at the Church of the Holy Spirit, Dennehy’s Cross. The event preceded his funeral at the Island Crematorium, Rocky Island, Ringaskiddy.
