Michael O'Sullivan Tribute Hundreds of mourners gathered at John the Baptist Church in Glantane, in Co Cork, on Wednesday for requiem mass. Priest Fr Gerard Coleman told the service that O’Sullivan lived life to the full, and packed more into his 24 years than most people do in two lifetimes. He said he had maturity beyond his years, and a “tremendous understanding”. “He understood his horses and that’s why he was such a great rider,” said the priest. “But he also understood people and that is why he made a lasting impression on everyone and won the hearts of the Irish people. “Everyone loved him. He was an incredibly talented and dedicated sportsman and will never be forgotten.” The Irish Angle team pays tribute to jockey Michael O'Sullivan following his tragic passing aged 24.
