FITZPATRICK - Ivor. We are deeply saddened by the death of our managing partner and dear friend, Ivor Fitzpatrick. Ivor was an enormously charismatic individual who was held in the highest esteem by everyone he worked with through the years. As founder and managing partner of Ivor Fitzpatrick & Company from 1981 he drove it on to become one of the top legal firms in the country. Ivor’s legacy in the legal profession is a significant one and he will be very sadly missed. Ivor was a true force of nature and had a wide range of interests as a lawyer, property owner and entrepreneur. It is impossible to do justice to his many achievements and interests in a short notice, save to say that he was always wise, principled and the most entertaining of companions.  

He is deeply missed by his family, friends and colleagues.  

The firm’s offices will be closed Thursday 28 March, the date of Ivor’s funeral, as a mark of respect. 

CONSIDINE - Philip, died on March 27, 2023 -  On this first anniversary, the Considine family wishes to express our deep gratitude to everyone who supported Philip during his illness and to sincerely thank everyone for their love and support since Philip’s untimely passing. Thank you to Fr Tom Hogan and to Fr Tom O’Keefe who concelebrated Philip’s funeral mass and made it so special and personal. The large attendance at the funeral, the comforting messages, letters, cards, floral tributes and regular visits are much appreciated and continue to be a source of great comfort to his heartbroken family.

Philip was an incredible person who loved life and everyone in it. He was charming, funny, and had the most infectious laugh. But above all else he was thoroughly decent and kind. His courage, dignity, grace and good humour while fighting his illness was an inspiration to all who knew him. He is forever missed, forever loved, forever remembered.
