Gerry O'Sullivan
Gerry O'Sullivan (1 April 1936 – 5 August 1994) was an Irish Labour Party politician from Cork.[1] He was a long-serving member of Cork City Council, and was Lord Mayor of Cork from 1986 to 1987.
O'Sullivan was first elected to Dáil Éireann at the 1989 general election as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for Cork North-Central having topped the poll.[2] He was re-elected at the 1992 general election, receiving 10,008 first preference votes, again topping the poll.[1]
In January 1993, after the formation of a Fianna Fáil–Labour coalition government, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of the Marine (with special responsibility for Port Development Safety at sea and Inland Fisheries).[3]
He died in office in August 1994 following a short illness.[citation needed]
In 1996 the Port of Cork commissioned a new 30m, 176 ton tug and pilot vessel which was christened the M.T. Gerry O'Sullivan in his honour. The boat is usually moored in either Cobh or Ringaskiddy.[4]
