Ann and Michael O'Sullivan. Michael worked for many years at the GPO in Cork while his wife was formerly of Irish Steel.

A man and a woman in their 80s, who were found dead near the stairs of their home in Glounthaune, Co Cork, have been remembered at their funeral mass as a “tremendous couple” who were “inseparable from each other".

Foul play was ruled out in the deaths of Michael (Noel) O’Sullivan and his wife Ann. The bodies of the pair were found at around 5pm on Monday by a relative.
