The Lord Mayor of Cork, Councillor Joe Kavanagh, will open an online Book of Condolences at noon to mark the passing of renowned Cork soprano, Cara O’Sullivan.

Ms. O’Sullivan was the inaugural recipient of Cork’s Culture Award in 2019 in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the artistic and cultural life of the city.

Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Joe Kavanagh said:

There was deep sadness in Cork and across the country last night when we learnt of the death of one of our greatest talents and one of our most wonderful personalities. Cara was blessed with a voice that could stop you in your tracks when she was played on the radio. To have seen her perform in Cork City Hall on numerous occasions was to have been truly privileged. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam dílis.

The Book of Condolences will go live on www.corkcity.ie from 12 noon on Wednesday, January 27 2021.
