Only just heard of Paul’s death. A true gentleman. He had great compassion for those in prison and people who struggled in life. I worked with him in a voluntary capacity for many years. May he rest in peace.
Saddened to hear of Paul's passing. May his soul and the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace
As an old friend and past neighbour (6 The Stiles Road), I was extremely sorry to hear of Paul's death. I was told too late to attend the funeral and am very sorry not to have been there. My deepest sympathy to Paul's family and also to his brother, Ian.
I worked with Paul for a period during the PD years and during this time I also got to know Lila and had many a fun banter with her. Paul and I worked very well together and he was a man of integrity whom I admired greatly.
My deepest sympathing to Ronan, Elva and Gavan and your extended family on your Dad's passing.

Sincere sympathies to Paul’s family on his passing. Paul was great company and a true friend. He will be sadly missed.
To the Mackay family - I didn't know your father & grandfather personally but may he rest in peace. I was interested in though not directly involved in politics. There was a family connection with the PDs in its early days and, if memory serves me correctly, there may have been a nodding acquaintance with Ronan in UCD in the '90s. What I had known about your Dad & Grandad a long time ago and this is borne out by tributes and obituaries is that he was a man of courage, honour and straight dealing. That is the essence of patriotism. May Paul's gentle soul rest in peace.
Ronan, Elva and Gavan, deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. You are all in my thoughts at this sad time. Alex x
Condolences to all Paul's family at this very sad time. It was always enlightening to be in his company and enjoy his charm, wit and friendship. He will be greatly missed in Terenure RFC
Sincerest condolences to Paul's family and his wide circle of friends. As so many have said a real gentleman, great company and a man of integrity.
Dear Ronan, Elva and Gavin, sending you all our deepest sympathy at this very sad time.
The funeral service you had for Paul was a very moving celebration of your Dad's life, and I'm grateful we were able to watch it. The girls gave lovely readings, and Ronan, your eulogy was a very beautiful tribute to your Dad.
Thinking of you all, your children and partners.

My deepest sympathies to the Mackay family. Paul was a lovely man and was an enormous help to me when I wrote a book about the history of the Progressive Democrats. He made an important contribution to Irish politics at a critical time.
Dear Family Members of Paul,
I have just taken part in Paul’s funeral Mass on line. It was a perfect tribute to Paul and Ronan’s eulogy summed up his many fine qualities which, for me, evoked many memories during our time in the Progressive Democrats.
Paul and Lila were a most attractive and engaging couple and being in their company was always a pleasure.
May Paul rest in peace and may his spirit and energy continue to inspire you all.

Dearest Ronan, Elva, Gavan & Mr. Mackays Beautiful Family.
Words can never be enough to express sympathy nor quantify the pain you're all feeling.
We, reading your announcement, can only bare witness to your Love for your Dad, your Grandfather and the most beautiful impact he has had on our all our lives.
What I can say and write is that Paul is the most honourable Man I've ever met in business, which, was both a blessing and a curse.
There'll never be another like him and I'm doubtful I'll ever take another at his word.
He was uniquely beautiful, sometimes sourly, but always an honest and beautiful Soul.
We had our disagreements but he never once allowed me to lose face in front of others, he fought my corner, saw the bigger picture and was always true to his word.
I will miss him greatly, until the next time Mr. Mackay.
Fly high,
Pete Xx

Paul took me under his wing when I first joined Clontarf Rugby Club and what a role model he was.
Over the years I sought Paul’s help and guidance with clients who were in trouble and he was such a tremendous help to me.
Paul was always great company and I am so much a better person for knowing him and respecting the standards that he set.
May he rest in peace

It is with such sorrow I express my deepest condolences to you all on Paul’s passing. We met while during our studies in the Milltown Institute during our theological studies. Our great friendship continued during our Holy Land trip and further our Italy tour under the guidance of our lecturer Fr Pat Rogers, which Lila joined us on. Our friendship was wonderful and included further dinner parties in my home with Bernard & Helen Roche & my sister Barbara. Sadly, since then we lost Lila, Helen & now Paul. I pray they are all now together & remembering our wonderful get togethers.
To all of Paul & Lila’s family, you had an amazing parents & I’m blessed to have known them & shared wonderful memories at dinner parties at my home.
My love & condolences to each of you all.
I must mention when we were on our Italy tour Hannah, you were born and all the focus was on getting a present!! Paul & Lila were so, so excited it was all about getting a present to bring home for her. Although it’s years later Hannah, I hope in these sad days, you can know how much your coming into this world lite up Paul’s & Lila’s lives.
I’m blessed to both your parents touched my life. Catherine D

Deepest sympathies to the Mackay family on Paul's passing. No tribute will likely truly capture his many achievements and contributions. I for one though will always be grateful to him for his unselfish guidance, mentorship and friendship with lessons often delivered "consisely" but with great humour. Ní fheicfimid a leithéid ann arís. Rest in peace Paul.

To Gavan, Elva and Ronan and the wider Mackay Family,
We were very sad to learn of the passing of your dear Father, Paul.
He had a tremendous passion for rugby and politics and was a loyal member of Terenure Rugby Club and one of the founding members of The Progressive Democrats in December, 1985. He and I soldiered long and hard in the PDs over 24 years with a great mutual respect. He was a true professional in his work as a Chartered Accountant and above all, he was a man of integrity and a good friend.
