Prof. Patrick (Pat) Finnegan

To Niall and the Finnegan family. Sincere condolences on the passing of your dear father.

Prof Finnegan was a wonderful physician and teacher. He was a great role model for medical students and doctors throughout his career. He gave great service to the community over a long career. It is nice that he was granted a deserved long retirement with his family, enjoying other interests, including the arts and sports.

I would also like to remember his late sister, Mary, with whom I worked at UCHG. Mary was a wonderful person and a great Nurse.

May Prof Pat Finnegan Rest in Peace.

Saddened to hear of the recent loss of your lovely dad Nuala, many of us have walked the long journey of Mount Desert and we all know that it must end, your dad lasted a long time and I know you cared greatly for his well being.
I wish you and all the extended families every peace going forward as you steady yourselves in the knowledge your life was enhanced by his presence.

Deepest sympathy to Anne and the Finnegan family on the death of Professor Pat Finnegan. He was an outstanding physician and clinical teacher, expecting a high standard of his staff and students. In retrospect, he put in a huge effort in his teaching role, all done with a sense of humour behind it all. Little did we know we would become life partners on his ward round. May he rest in peace

Sincere sympathy to Emer, Nuala, Niall, Anne and the extended family on the death of Pat. I had the good fortune to have been an Intern with him in 1977 after he returned from the UK. Being from Kilrickle helped and Pat kept an eye on me and offered wisdom and advice over the following years in the Regional. I enjoyed Máire and Pat’s company at many conferences. He was a gifted teacher with amazing acumen. I was very lucky to have known him. May he forever rest in peace.

Very sorry for your loss, Nuala and family. May Pat rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the Finnegan family. There are countless patients who benefited from the Professor's innovation as he pioneered the introduction of home based non-invasive ventilation. It was a privilege to spend some time supporting these services in years past and his clinical skills and compassionate manner endeared him to his patients, who held him in the highest regard.
Decades later, it was a real privilege to play a small part as CEO of GCIL where our homecare team supported Prof Pat in Galway, our team remember him fondly. Ní fheicfimid a leithéid arís.

A lovely person to converse with he was very proud of his Loughrea roots and loved to reminisce on his youth and schooldays. In particular he has left a remarkable legacy in the Galway community through his professional career and local history publications.

My deepest sympathy to the Finnegan family. I had the privilege of working for him as an intern when he was a relatively new consultant. He was a firm but also a considerate and fair mentor; ward rounds could be challenging due to his exacting standards but lessons learned then stayed with me throughout my career.

Dear Nuala,
Your Dad has been blessed to have had such a faithful, devoted friend and daughter over the past years.
