Dear Mary deepest condolences to you and your family on the sad passing of Ignatius. May all the wonderful memories of Ignatius ye have get you through the difficult times . May he rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to Nuala and family on your loss.

Sincerely sorry for your loss.

Dear David and family,
My sincere condolences on the loss of Ignatius - I hope you find comfort in the fond memories - may he Rest in Peace

John Paul, Dave and the Coffey family, your Dad seems to have been a really great guy, I’m sorry I never met him. Sending you our best wishes during this very difficult time.

Deepest condolences to Mary, Pat's sons and extended family on his passing. Pat started us both in our careers in TCS and took great pleasure in reminding me at any meeting over the years how not only did he get me a job, but also a husband - and one from Clare, no less! He had a big personality and was a fair and passionate principal. The school was a better place for him. He didn't take himself too seriously; I'm reminded of an occasion when he stepped in to my class for a few minutes, only for me to return to him under the table, mid paper-ball fight!
Ní bheidh a leithéad arís ann.

Sincere sympathy to Mary, John Paul, David, Mark and all the Coffey family on the sad passing of Ignatius. We have very fond memories of him. May he rest in peace.

Ignatius will always hold his own place in my heart. He was a truly special person, exuding warmth and acceptance, all while lighting up a room. I never felt I had to be any other person than who I am to receive love from Ig in a genuine way. I am so grateful to have had him in my life and even more grateful to have had him as my son's grandfather. Jack absolutely adored him and cherishes the time they had together.

Ig's spirit will undoubtedly continue to be present through the limitless stories we all have to share. Sending love to whole Coffey Family.

Sincere condolences to Dolores, Nuala & Dan on the passing of your brother Ignatius. May he rest in peace.

May Ignatius, my cheerful fun loving classmate, rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to all the family,
from the girls in France .

Sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. Deepest sympathy to all his family.

The first thing Mr. Coffey ever said to me on day one in TCS (in a whispering, mischievous tone): "Now, there may come a time when I might have to be strict but I want you to always remember...I don't really mean it." Gives a wink and a smile and walks off. Knew we'd be in good hands for the next 6 years. Journey well, Sir.

Ignatius leaves a trail of happy memories that bring a smile through the sadness. Warmth and light-heartedness are what I’ll always connect him with. He would liven up any group with a ready joke. Cómhbhrón ó chroí le Dolores, Nuala, Dan agus an clann go léir.

I am so sorry to hear of Pat's death.
He was a true gentleman.
When I worked with him on the Schools Completion Programme he was a lovely man to deal with, always just and fair, dedicated to encouraging and supporting the education of all the pupils in the parish of St Aengus.
Pat was also very good company and had a mischievous sense of humour!
May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to his wife Mary and family on their great loss.

I am very sorry to hear that Pat has passed. A wonderful Principal in every way to students and staff of TCS.I thoroughly enjoyed my year at TCS as a H-Dip student in 1999 and learned so much from Pat . Pat always had a wonderful presence in school, gave great time to everyone and shared his valuable knowledge with whoever crossed his path .He had a great hearty laugh with a story to follow and brightened up everyone's day.
RIP Pat.

Pat gave many young teachers, including me, their first start out in TCS in the early 2000s.

He was as adept at guiding us as he was the students in the school. His sense of mischief, his love of his home county of Clare, and the greatest game in the world, hurling, his love of conversation with all people of all ages and his loyalty to them were hallmarks of his huge personality.

Pat remained available for advice and the fast quip far beyond retirement.

He will be fondly remembered by many, but especially those in D24.

Rest in peace Pat.

My condolences to Mary, John, Paul, David and Mark and all of his family, whom he spoke of often, warmly and proudly.

Deepest condolences to Mary and family.I had the pleasure of working with Pat in Killester for a number of years before he moved to Tallaght.
