In Memory of the late Doireann O’Sullivan who was such a wonderfully supportive and dedicated Member of Millstreet Twinning Association we have just received a very special message from Yves Allain on behalf of the Twinning Association of our Twin Town, Pommerit le Vicomte.  We firstly share the exact message as received in French and then we include our translation of the much appreciated message from our great Friends in Brittany: 

It is with great emotion that we learned of the death of Doireann O’ Sullivan.
We appreciate and treasure our knowing Doireann for almost 30 years of our twinning relationships POMMERIT / Millstreet.
She was always so very welcoming and available to open her home to Pommeritains.
