Deepest sympathy to the Hunter family on the sad passing of Pat. I worked with Pat many years ago in the Bridewell/Mountjoy area. He was one of natures gentlemen cool under pressure and a great help to younger members of the force. He was the driver of the patrol which was the first on the scene when his good friend and colleague Garda Dick Fallon was brutally murdered. He was the last surviving member of the car crew that went to investigate the bank robbery on arran quay on that fateful day which shook the nation. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to the immediate and extended Hunter family on Pats passing. A lovely lovely man. Knew him in my early years in the Gardai in the early 1980’s when he worked in District Court No 6 in the Bridewell. Always gave great advice. Loved his Mayo roots. May Pat now Rest in eternal Peace 🙏
