We lost a valued regular today. Patch was part of furniture midweek and he’ll be greatly missed by all in McCormacks. 😢 Rest in peace Patch.

Today we said our final goodbye to one of life’s true gentlemen, Mick Scott.

Mick was part of the Punchestown family for decades. Often the first person race goers would meet on arrival, Mick always had a kind word and warm welcome. A great man for a cup of tea and chat and a calming influence on the most hectic of days with a classic “don’t be getting excited” line.

Mick Scott was a man for family, community, racing (here and with our neighbours in Naas), sport with GAA and Golf. A Kerry native who loved a pint in McCormacks or a coffee with pals.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends especially our great pal and colleague Margaret who kept him fully informed the daily Festival debriefs.

Thank you Mick. It was a pleasure.

It’s with great sadness that we heard the news of Paul Dempsey’s passing after a short illness.

He was a true gentleman. Paul has worked with us for over ten years on a part time basis and he was one of the most solid and reliable staff members to have worked in McCormacks.

He will be very sadly missed by both staff and customers.

Our condolences to his wife Kate and daughter Kym and all of his family. May he rest in peace.
