His remains reposed at Keegan's Funeral Home, Portlaoise until removal to SS Peter and Paul’s Church on Saturday July 22nd for Requiem Mass followed by burial immediately afterwards in SS Peter and Paul’s Cemetery, Portlaoise
The late Phil, who was predeceased by his granddaughter Kate, is deeply regretted by his wife Maureen, daughters Antoinette and Claire, granddaughter Sarah, sons-in-law Tom Prendergast and Brian Rigney, brother Barry, sister-in-law, Pauline, nephews, nieces, extended family, large circle of friends, and former colleagues in An Garda Siochana.
