Donal O'Sullivan

I offer my most heartfelt condolences to the O’Sullivan family upon the death of Donal just before Christmas! Donal was a highly intelligent and affable man and I loved talking to him about local and maritime affairs and history whenever I had the chance to meet him in Dun Laoghaire!

Only six months ago he delivered a very informative and thought provoking lecture to the Foxrock Local History Club about Dun Laoghaire Harbour that was very well attended! I hope that his maritime history research is appreciated by many people for years to come!

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis!

Ní maith liom do thrioblóid anois!

Condolences to you Eoin and the wider family on the passing of your father. May Donal Rest in Peace.

May he rest in peace.

So sorry to hear that news. Donal made a tremendous contribution to sailing in Ireland, especially Dublin Bay. He leaves a legacy of fine historical books - most notably "The history of Sailing in Dublin Bay (1984)" & "The National- a chronical" (2020). He had an incredible knowledge of all things sailing in Ireland. He was kind, generous and helpful member of the National YC for 60+ years and will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences Bairbre to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

To my old and dear (school)friend Niall and to Eoin, Bairbre and your families, I am thinking of you.

Bairbre and family, my deepest sympathies to you all, on the sad passing of Donal. I had the pleasure of working with him, on the DBSC committee and IDRA14 information items over the years. He had such knowledge and wisdom of all matters sailing in Dun Laoghaire and further afield. A true gentleman and always a pleasure to chat with.
May he rest in peace.

Such a loss. I spent many hours with Donal in hislittle office discussing the history of the National Yacht Club which he was writing at the time. He was undoubtably the most knowledgeable authority on Dublin Bay Sailing. I do hope that his archives will be donated to the Lexicon (Local history section). I will miss Donal greatly, my condolences to his family.

Our sincere sympathies to all the family.

Eoin so sorry to hear about your Dad’s death. Will be thinking about your and your family at this difficult time.

Sincerest condolences to Bairbre and Paddy and the rest of Donal’s family. Donal was wonderful man and his contribution to sailing was enormous over many years. May he Rest in Peace.

I am sorry to hear the sad news of Donal's departure. Condolences to Bairbre, Eoin, Niall & Donal's crew.
Donal was a regular competitor in many classes over the years. Enterprise, Fireball, Wag, Ruffian, & Shipman classes. While sailing he found the time to run Dublin Bay Sailing Club as Honorary Secretary for 27 years, some task for a volunteer for such a large and active club. To commemorate the club's centenary in 1984, Donal, after much research recorded the occasion with publication of " Dublin Bay - A Centuary of Sailing". Donal later published "Ó Kingstown go Dún Laoghaire". More recently in 2020 Donal published "The National - Chronicles of a Dun Laoghaire Yacht Club" to commemorate the Sesquicentennial of the National Yacht Club. Donal's dedication in that publication records "In memory of my dear wife Maureen, who, with perfect good humour, put up with her husband's sailing activities for over 53 years"
We will miss Donal's good nature, knowledge & humour. The Oracle of racing in the bay has taken the ebb tide.Thank you Donal for all you have contributed, you will be missed.

Sincere condolences to Bairbre & all the O’Sullivan family on the passing of Donal.
Our love & thoughts are with you all at this sad time

So sorry Niall, Nuala and your boys,
Sending all our love and condolences on the loss of your Dad.
