It is with great sadness that Munster Rugby learnt of the passing of former Media Manager Pat Geraghty after illness.
Pat first joined the province in 2000 after spending ten years with Leinster Rugby, and in making the move south the Kildare-native managed the media relations for the squad and organisation until the end of the 2012/13 season.
A hugely popular member of the Munster backroom team, for over a decade he was an ever-present figure in the province’s greatest successes including Celtic Cup and League wins in ’03 and ’05, Heineken Cup success in ’06 and ’08, and Magners League titles in ’09 and ’11.
During that time he also worked with the London 2012 Summer Olympics.
Educated at Clongowes Wood College, in his early days Pat played club rugby with North Kildare Rugby Club and continued his long-standing association with the club by joining them as Director of Rugby after his time with the province.
Our thoughts are with his wife Kathy, daughters Sarah and Mary-Kate, and all his family and friends at this time.
Funeral arrangements: Reposing at home on Wednesday, from 4pm to 8pm with prayers at 7pm. Funeral mass on Thursday, in St Patrick’s Church, Celbridge, at 11am, followed by burial in Donacomper cemetery. House private on Thursday.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
