Barry Connell described Michael O'Sullivan as a "bright, rising star" who leaves a lasting legacy following news of his death on Sunday at the age of 24.
The Cheltenham Festival-winning rider was airlifted to hospital following a fall at Thurles on February 6 and had remained in the intensive care unit at Cork University Hospital since.
