Tributes have been paid following the death of one of Ireland’s most celebrated sopranos, Cara O’Sullivan, following a short illness.
One of the finest voices of her generation, Ms O’Sullivan was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of early-onset dementia in 2018. She died at Marymount Hospice in Cork today. She was just 58.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said Ms O Sullivan had a beautiful voice and the warmest personality.
