John Fitzpatrick

The Eithne and Paddy Memorial Fund, was set up by the well-known hotelier John Fitzpatrick in 1994, in memory of his late parents, Eithne and Paddy. The Memorial Fund works to raise funds in support of a diverse group of worthy organizations across the island of Ireland that focus on a range of much needed initiatives including expanding educational opportunities, helping families and children affected by serious illnesses, delivering social services to the elderly and fostering peace and reconciliation between people across the whole of Ireland.  To date, the Memorial Fund has raised over $4.5 million.
