Mór-chomhbhrón le muintir Uí hÉigeartaigh agus leis na Bráithre Críostaí ar bhás an Bhráthar Macartan. Brathair uasal séimh cneasta spreagúil ab ea é.

Go raibh saol faoi shuaimhneas aige in áitreabh an Athar.

Deepest sympathy to the Hegarty family on the loss of Br. Patrick, and also to his community.
He was one of the most influential people I had the pleasure of working with. His interest in his teaching staff and the students alike was of genuine sincerity and care. He also was gifted with a lovely, dry, old wit. Remembering a lovely gentleman whose educational practice was inspired by his deep Christian belief.

My sincere condolences to all of Bro Hegarty's family and the Christian Brothers community.

I came to know and respect Bro Hegarty in Carlow CBS as a pupil around 1978. He was our school principal at an important time for the school where he employed superb teachers and built a tremendous atmosphere where teachers engaged fully with the students for the betterment of all. Bro Hegarty was instrumental in creating this wonderful centre of learning where students were encouraged to become the best they could be. A true educational leader.
Br Pat never forgot his place of birth and retained his accent when we came to meet over the years. His genuine interest in his past pupils is legendary.
His legacy will never wane in those of us lucky to have met him.
May Bro Pat enoy eternal life.

Sorry for your loss. Condolences to all. Br Hegarty was my principal in callan Co. Kilkenny. A lovely man

Sincerest sympathies to Br Pat's relations on his passing. Hamlet was the LC drama he taught us expertly in 1972 and those final words spoken by Horatio are most apt in this instance --- "Good night, sweet prince and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Pat took a great interest in every student he taught and enabled them to reach their full potential. His versatility as an educator was noteworthy. Truly, he was a scholar and a gentleman.

I was saddened to learn of Br.Hegarty's passing.I knew him as a soft-spoken,gentle man.He gave me my probation year contract as a teacher in the The Castle in the 85-86 school year.The following year he( along with Br.Linnane) gave me a permanent job.Both of these events have given me and my family financial security to this day.Thanks SO MUCH Br.Hegarty for your belief in me.!

Our sincere sympathy to you Marie and the extended Hegarty and Caulfield families on the death of Br Patrick. May he Rest in Peace.

I hope that, in their loss, his family find comfort in knowing how deeply respected and admired he was. He left an enduring impression in St. Mary's, Carlow where he headed a happy school, always setting an example of patience, kindness, good humour, support for students in difficulty and encouraging his staff in their efforts. He was, as we say, one of the good ones. Paddy McGovern

Pat had a long life and was gracious till the end. Gentle man and fine human being. Rest in peace. Noel ex CB.

Deepest sympathy to Brother Pat(McCartan) family and friends even though like other contributors it is over 50 years since I was taught by the most wonderful human being who always helped those less gifted through exams and was a most kind and gifted educator and a great friend of my late Uncle Donal (Nessan),may Pat rest in peace.
