About 400 people have left tributes and messages of condolence in Online Condolence Books for Diarmuid O’Sullivan and his father Tadhg.
Funerals for two of the men killed in a farmland dispute near Kanturk, north of Co Cork will be held privately in accordance with Covid restrictions, at St Mary’s Church, Castlemagner, at 2.30 a.m. pm today.
They will later be buried in St Brigid’s Cemetery, Castlemagner.
The funeral of Mark O’Sullivan, who is believed to have been shot and killed in his room by his father and brother, will take place tomorrow and will be broadcast live at 3:30 pm from the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Kanturk.
One of the online tributes to Diarmuid came from a former college friend Cathal Cadogan.
“Thank you for all the memories we have had together during our 4 years at CIT,” he said of his time at the Cork Institute of Technology.
He described the 23-year-old as “kind, friendly, a gentleman, and most importantly a friend.”
And he added: “It has been a pleasure. You will never be forgotten. ”
A couple who met him when the 23-year-old was working at the Burtons hardware store in Kanturk described him as “a very nice, personable and helpful young man.”
Offering “deepest condolences” to his mother Anne “at this difficult time,” a former teacher said that Diarmuid was “brilliant and conscientious.”
And they said it was “a privilege to have taught Diarmuid at Coláiste Treasa” at Kanturk.
A former classmate said: “Rest in peace Diarmuid. I will keep good memories for you! “Yvonne Connolly, from Kanturk, said that Diarmuid was” a great friend “to her son Callum” throughout the school years. “
Tadhg, 59, was described by Norma O’Brien in her Rip.ie Book of Condolences online as “a pure gentleman to work with.”
And she urged, “Take care of your two children and give Anne the strength to live.”
Séamus or Ceallacháin expressed their “deepest condolences to Anne and their extended families.”
And he said, referring to his school and the garage where he worked as a mechanic in Buttevant, he had “very fond memories of Tadhg at Mallow Vocational School and Greenhall.”
One Mary O’Connor of Castlemagner described him as “a gentleman.”
Ballingarry’s Carmel Lane said he hoped his distraught wife Anne could find comfort in her faith “at this very difficult time.”
And she said: “My partner John Downes knew Tadg very well at Greenhall Motors and would often tell me about him saying he was a lovely gentleman.
Hundreds of messages have also been left in Mark’s online Book of Condolences with messages for Anne O’Sullivan for the shocking murder of her “beautiful son” Mark.
He was described as a popular figure among his classmates at Coláiste Treasa, Kanturk, and at the University of Limerick and University College Cork, where he had studied law.
Edmund Ryan of Limerick described the 26-year-old law graduate as “a genuine, funny and considerate human being.”
He said he hoped time would help Ms. O’Sullivan “find the reason to live every day and accept that this tragedy and the responsibility for the great sadness and anguish that surrounds her was not hers.”
Former work colleague Ronan Murphy said: “[Mark] he lit up the room with his infectious smile and was always ready to lend a hand when needed. “
