Tá Pádraig molta agus mise i mo thost.
Séard atá sa téacs ar an leac mharmair thuas ná:
This building is dedicated to
PADRAIG O'HUIGINN
public civil servant whose sole purpose was
the advancement of Ireland and who did so
with patriotism passion and compassion
Tá cúlra an scéil seo le fáil anseo
Cuma anois air go bhfuil an leac i seilbh "global French fund CNP Assurance" ó 2016 i leith.
When Pádraig got his marble gong
I wondered would it stay there long.
When I went back again today
I found that it had gone away.
Ar ndóigh, an rud nár thuigeas ag an am ná go raibh leac eile anois ann. N'fheadar ar cuireadh ann é nuair a baineadh an ceann eile nó an raibh an dá cheann ann i gcónaí. Tá an ceann seo níos discréidí ar bhealach ní hamháin maidir leis an téacs ach lena shofheiciúlacht.
THIS BUILDING IS DEDICATED TO
PADRAIG O'HUIGINN
(BORN 1924)
WHO DEVOTED 50 YEARS OF HIS LIFE TO
THE PUBLIC SECTOR RISING TO SERVE AS
SECRETARY GENERAL AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF AN TAOISEACH FROM 1982 TO 1993
HE WAS CENTRAL TO IRELAND'S GROWTH AND
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND A MAJOR
PROMOTER OF THE ARTS IN IRELAND
PADRAIG PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE IFSC WHICH WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 1987 IN DUBLIN'S DOCKLANDS
Tá sé le feiceáil, mar a deirfeá, ar an gcolún ar thaobh na láimhe deise.
Agus tá an t-áiléar tiomnaithe dó fós le feiceáil san RHA áfach.
Deirtear linn sa fógra báis gur éag sé ar "3 Aibreán 2019, go ríméadach, lán brí agus scéalaíochta ar uair a bháis" agus tá teacht ar an tuairisc seo ar an socraid san Irish Independent.
Dúradh liom le déanaí go raibh dealbh Phádraig le feiceáil ins an áiléar céanna. Ní fhaca mé ann é agus mé féin san áit - munarb é seo é thíos:
Rud nach dócha. Caithfidh mé cuairt eile thabhairt ar an áit.
