Pat Brady

A rare good memoir of five years in Synge Street was remembering Pj Brady. 30 years on just hearing this news today and it makes me sad to hear of his passing. A good man, a good teacher and a inspiration to all teachers that students are not all academic. He will be missed by myself and so many others who were lucky to have him as a teacher .

I am so sorry Eleanor to learn of your very sad loss. May Pat rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to you and your family at this very difficult time.

Declan and family,

We are very saddened to learn of the passing of your father, Pat. A very difficult time for you all and our thoughts are with you and your family. May he rest in peace.

A teacher of the highest standard. His insight was as much imparted through the anecdotes of life lessons as his interpretation of the text on the page. He has left a positive lasting impression on generations of students.

Sincere sympathy to Declan and the rest of the Brady family. You're in our thoughts at this difficult time.

To all Pat's family and friends my deepest sympathy. I got to know Pat through the Summer School in Moyle Park College firstly as a fantastic teacher. What a lovely man, a true gentleman. Then he took over from us as principal/director where he also excelled. I have great memories of Pat that will stay with me . May he rest in peace.

Great memories of Mr Brady, A gentleman and outstanding teacher.

Wishing all the family and friends of Mr Brady my deepest condolences

Thank you Sir - Rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Eleanor and family at this very sad time

Deepest sympathies to Eleanor, Ruth, Declan and Kevin on the passing of PJ

The term ‘a gentleman and a scholar’ never applied to anyone more than PJ.
I had the pleasure of knowing him for over twenty years and having many enjoyable chats with him in his home in Templeogue, along with a series of annual ‘Christmas Dinners’ in the city centre. His encyclopaedic knowledge and compassion were extraordinary. One always left a meeting with PJ feeling and being a better person.
With PJ’s passing we have lost a truly great individual and educator. And most fundamental of all, for the Brady clan, a cherished family member.

Rest in peace PJ, it was an honour being your friend!

Deepest sympathy to all the Brady family. May Pat Rest In Peace. Thinking of you Kevin, Anne Marie , Emily and Ben at this very difficult time.

Dear Eleanor and Family.,My deepest sympathy to you all on the passing of Pat.
May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts are with Eleanor, Ruth, Declan and Kevin and the extended Brady family at this time, on their great loss. P J's integrity and good nature was an example to us all.

Memories of such commitment continue to shine.

My Sympathies to the Brady family, I was so sad to hear of Pat's death.
As a Synge Street pupil and a neighbour, Pat drove me to school for many years, he had endless patience and style of teaching which was light years ahead of its time.
A true gentleman, Pat was held in the highest regard and fondness by all in Templeogue Wood and by all in the most testing forum of them all, the classroom.
