Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on passing of Toddy O’Sullivan
I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Toddy O’Sullivan.
As a Minister of State, TD, Lord Mayor and City Councillor, he served his city and his country with passion, integrity, dignity, and total commitment throughout his life.
From my early days serving on Cork City Council in 1985, Toddy was a mentor and friend in politics.
He understood the importance of a cross-party approach for the benefit of the people.
In the Fianna Fáil and Labour government of the early 90s, we worked well together, and Toddy was a fierce advocate for working people and the poor.
Whether in his capacity as city councillor, TD or Minister of State, he worked hard to advance the interests of the people of Cork and the country.
We will miss him.
