He had been overseeing the racecource for more than thirty years, and was also the President of the Tullamore Rotary Club.

General Manager of the Fairyhouse Racecourse, Peter Roe, says Paddy was 'Mr. Kilbeggan,' and was extremely thoughtful with a kind heart.

 His funeral details are yet to be announced.

Several racing organisations have paid their respects to Mr. Dunican. 

Gardaí in Laois and Offaly recalled how invested he was in the message of putting your phone down while driving.

Over the weekend, a gentleman called Paddy Dunican, Kilbeggan Racecourse fame, tragically passed away. Most of us involved in events around Laois and Offaly got to know him. A true gent. One of Paddys last pieces of work was with Tullamore & District Rotary Club around the message of putting away the mobile phone while driving. We remember how passionate he was about keeping the message in this video alive, so we will do our part in sharing the message and continuing to enforce Road Safety. You can do your part too. Rest in peace, Paddy.
