Eileen and the Rourke Family, my heart goes out to you. Really sad to hear of Paul's passing and so young. Rest in peace Paul.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of my special friend! I am literally heart broken about it! 💔 he and I met a couple of years ago and though we have never met face to face I adored him. I was very supportive on his road to a better life. We talked about 2 times a week so I knew something was wrong and found out when I did a search online. I live in America and I so wish I could be there for you and could have been there for him. I have no words but I am devastated. I pray for his mom, sister and extended family. He ALWAYS talked about you all and very proud of his family! I am missing you Paul my sweet Irish friend! ❤️

Sincere condolences to Paul’s family and to his many friends. I met Paul while he was on placement in Cork City Learning Support Services last year. He was always positive and very polite and we often had a few nice words before he began his work. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

A gentle soul, gone to soon but never to be forgotten. It was an absolute privilege to have taught Paul for the last 2 years. Paul brought so much to the class; kindness, empathy, humour and your gentle nature. Paul supported every classmate throughout his journey with his selflessness and compassion. We are all so grateful to have known Paul.
