KILLARNEY native Noel O'Sullivan is to be honoured as Killarney London Association Person of the Year at the annual reunion function in London in November.

Ballaugh native Noel, a former winner of the Kerry London Person of the Year award, has been recognised for his huge support for the association as well as for his promotion of the GAA and the Rose of Tralee International Festival.

Noel is very active in the Killarney-London Association, said the association’s Killarney-based chairman Councillor Donal Grady who himself was a very popular winner of the accolade last year. “We would like to congratulate Noel on this very deserved award,” Cllr Grady told the Killarney Advertiser.

Noel will be presented with the award, sponsored by Killarney Advertiser, at a function in the Claddagh Ring venue in Hendon, London, on Saturday, November 19.

The Killarney-London Reunion was started by Canon Tom Looney, now parish priest in Fossa and Cllr Grady and the late Cllr Michael Courtney ensured it grew from strength to strength over the years.
