Stabbing victim Dan O'Sullivan with his sisters, Sam and Jessica

A grieving family have thanked gardaí and emergency services after their son was killed in Youghal in Co Cork on Monday evening.

Daniel (Dan) O’Sullivan, who was originally from Mallow but had been living in Youghal for the past two years, died after being stabbed when a row broke out between two men in a pub in the east Cork town at about 9.50pm on April 14.

In a post on Rip.ie, Mr O'Sullivan's family thanked the paramedics and emergency services which came to his aid.

"The family would like to thank the paramedics, members of An Garda Síochana and the staff of Cork University Hospital for the care and attention at such a difficult time," the post read.

Hazel Dennehy, who founded Cork Street Angels homeless charity, wrote in a tribute: "Dan I am heartbroken. I spoke to you Monday evening at my soup run. My deepest condolences to your mum and sisters and family and friends. 

"May you get the biggest bed in heaven, you didn't deserve how your life ended. Your in my prayers may you rest in peace from all at street angels."

Mr O'Sullivan is survived by his mother Aileen, sisters Jessica and Samantha, and partner Ciara. His funeral will take place at the Church of the Resurrection, Mallow, on Easter Monday.

Reece Keogh, aged 29, of 140 North Main Street in Youghal, Co Cork, has been charged with the murder of Mr O’Sullivan. 

Mr Keogh was remanded in custody and will appear at Fermoy District Court via videolink on Wednesday, April 23.
