Falvey defeated Kathleen Lynch to be elected Lord Mayor of Cork in 1994. He was successful in securing his re-election to the council in 1999.[1]
Falvey died at his home in Cork on 15 May 2021, aged 87. He was predeceased by his wife of over 60 years and is survived by his six children, including Pat.[2]
