There is a great sense of loss in Carlow following the sad passing of a well-known and loved local man.
Michael Walshe was from Knocksquire, Borris in Carlow and died on 3rd November, 2025, peacefully, in the wonderful care of the staff at Borris Lodge Nursing Home.
He was predeceased by his brothers Pa, Billy and John and sister Brigid.
Michael was the loving husband of Margaret, adored father of Jacqueline, Paula and Aisling and cherished grandfather of Liam and Emma. Deeply regretted by his wife, daughters, sons-in-law Greg. Micheál and Michael, brother Jim, sister Mary, brother-in-law Jim, sister-in-law Mary, nephews, nieces, relatives, & friends.
Margaret, Jacqueline, Paula, Aisling and the extended family would like to thank most sincerely all those who looked after Michael in his home, allowing him to reside there for as long as was possible. Your kindness and patience will not be forgotten.
Heartfelt messages have been left on RIP.ie, from those who knew and fondly remembered Michael, with one mourner writing,
"Deepest sympathies to Magaret and the girls and all relatives. Mick was part of a great sporting family a fine hurler and gave great services to Borris Hurling Club. Mick was a keen Hurling follower, and I had many great conversations with him about Carlow GAA, and he was an authority on Kilkenny Hurling. May Mick rest in peace".

Another message said, "So sorry to hear of Mick's passing, deepest sympathies to his family. Mick was a life long true GAA supporter, and player, always willing to discuss issues, aspects of games, players, history of the games in the parish from Kilcloney, Rathanna, Borris, Ballymurphy, The Gaels, and of course Knocksquire of the early 1900's. Mick's " hearth" was without question, he was much more than "a fine day supporter", many could learn from his example. A meeting with Mick was always enriching,. The light of heaven will no doubt be his".
