Kerry Today

Jerry spoke to Fianna Fáil’s Michael Cahill and to Independent TD Michael Healy-Rae about Tuesday’s budget.

Patsy O’Sullivan from North Cork had been working as a chef in Killarney when he was last seen in April 1992. It emerged this week that he had left Ireland to make a new life in the UK. Patsy changed his name and had a contented life with his partner before he died two years ago. Jerry spoke to Patsy’s brother Jerry. He believes Patsy left because he felt Ireland of the early 1990s was not welcoming to a gay man.
