Thank you to all who were at St. Patrick's Church, Rock Chapel or lined the cortege route; And thanks to those who helped us remember every aspect his life, from his work, to his love for traditional music; from his passion for tug of war, to his love for the open road and his motorbike; All of you helped us give Paddy a very special send off.
