Mr. Mullins, the executive chairman of Amarenco and former CEO of Bord Gáis, passed away at 57 due to a sudden illness. He was active in public life, having contested elections as a Fine Gael representative and engaging in local sports organizations. A mass was held in Co Cork, attended by significant political figures. Tributes from family highlighted his influence and achievements, including receiving France's prestigious Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur for contributions to solar energy. Various personal tokens representing his life were brought to the altar during the ceremony.
At the mass, Mr Mullins' daughter Sarah humorously reflected that her father's biggest regret was that she and her brother Micheál developed "posh south Dublin accents."
Micheál Mullins' tribute emphasized his father's role as their "biggest inspiration" and his pride in his father's achievement, notably receiving France's Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.
Chief celebrant Father Donal Cotter noted Mr Mullins' ability to use his voice and influence as a means to "enhance the lives of the people around him."
