A funeral service for a father-of-four who died in a road collision in Co Waterford last week is to be held on Tuesday.

Michael O’Sullivan (55) of Cullencastle, Tramore, died last Friday at University Hospital Waterford (UHW) as a result of injuries he sustained when the motorbike he was travelling on collided with a jeep.

The collision occurred in Tramore at 7.35pm in the Cullencastle area of Tramore.

Mr O’Sullivan’s Requiem Mass will be held at 10am at The Church of the Holy Cross, Tramore. A private cremation will take place on Wednesday, July.

He is survived by his wife Lillian, his son Nicholas, his daughters Fiona, Heather and Rebecca; and his treasured grandchildren Mya, Maisie, Dolly, Frankie, Gustav, James, Katie and Finn.

The O’Sullivan family thanked all the emergency services, medical carers and all the staff in UHW in funeral details on RIP.ie.

Meanwhile, a 67-year-old man was remanded on bail, charged with alleged dangerous driving causing death in relation to last Wednesday’s crash.

John Fitzgibbon, with an address in New York City, appeared before a special sitting of Waterford District Court on Friday night.

Judge John Cheatle set bail at €10,000 cash to be presented to the court on Tuesday.

Bail was granted on the guarantee that both Mr Fitzgibbon’s Irish and his American passports be handed into the court.

Mr Fitzgibbon was also ordered to reside in Co Waterford until the conclusion of court proceedings.
