Tributes have been paid to Tipperary horse trainer Pat Coffey who died following a tragic accident in Portroe on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Coffey, who ran Boulagloss Stables in Carrigatoher, passed away after he sustained fatal injuries following a fall from a horse and cart at Killoran.
Mr Coffey was a highly respected horse trainer who enjoyed many successes in the point-to-point fields.
The other occupant of the cart, a male youth in his late teens, was uninjured.
The accident occurred at 1:30pm on Wednesday, October 21 at Portroe, County Tipperary.
Gardai say there were no other vehicles involved and it is being treated as a tragic accident.
The road was closed for a time for a technical examination but has since reopened to the public.
