Pat Heneghan: A Stalwart of the Irish PR Industry

January 16, 2025

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Pat Heneghan, who was a pioneer in public relations and champion of communications excellence in Ireland.

Over his illustrious career, Pat was regarded as a thought leader, innovator, and mentor to many in the profession. He made significant contributions to the development of Ireland’s PR landscape, setting a standard of professionalism, integrity, and creativity that inspired his peers and the next generation of practitioners. He was known for his strategic insight, dedication to his clients, and unwavering commitment to ethical practice. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of leadership, innovation, and service to the industry.

On behalf of the PRCA we extend our deepest condolences to our colleague Nigel and all in Heneghan Strategic Communications, to Pat’s family and his many friends. His impact on the industry will not be forgotten.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
