The late Paddy Enright Outpourings of sympathy and grief have been received by the family of 21-year-old Lisselton man Paddy Enright from his many friends, relatives and neighbours throughout North Kerry, following his sudden death. The young man, a son of Christy and Kate Enright from Dromlought, Lisselton, is the fifth youngest of a family of 14 that includes his brothers Martin, Christopher and John and sisters Elizabeth, Valerie, Margaret, Catherine, Christina, Sheila, Sharon, Marion and Emma. Paddy is predeceased by his brother James, who died in car accident some years ago. An apprentice carpenter, Paddy had started working with his brother Christopher, having worked with a Ballybunnion building company over the past number of years. He had decided on a profession in carpentry after pursuing a course in auto mechanics for a number of years immediately after his schooling. A former student of St Michael's and the Community College in Listowel he was dearly loved by his many friends from all over the area and he greatly enjoyed socialising with them. A keen Gaelic footballer and soccer player, Paddy played for both Lisselton Rovers and Ballydonoghue Football Club at various stages in is sporting life. Motorbikes, however, were his main hobby and the young Lisselton man was to have taken part in a race at Mondello Park on his own bike. His sister Catherine remembers a loving brother who meant the world to his large family. "We'll really miss Paddy, he was one in a million. He'd bend over backwards for you, he'd do anything you'd ask of him and he was great fun too, always messing and having a laugh," she told The Kerryman. "We'd like to thank everyone who showed us great support, family, friends and neighbours and my mother would like to say a special thank you to her best friend and neighbour, Eleanor Moran, who was of huge support to her as well as to Christy Walsh who did an awful lot for us all in the last few days," Ms Enright added.
