One of the last remaining links to Roscommon's All-Ireland SFC win of 1944 has been broken with the passing of Paddy Beisty.

In his ninety-first year, Paddy was the second last surviving panel member from that's year's 1-9 to 2-4 final win over Kerry.

With sadness we report the death of Paddy Beisty, the 2nd last surviving panel member of 1944 All Ireland winning team. #RIP #gaa
