Tributes are being paid to an "exceptionally talented" Irishman who died suddenly in the United States over the weekend.
Paddy Branagan, originally from Graiguecullen on the Laois/Carlow border, passed away on Sunday in Alabama.
The 30-year-old was the "adored father" of a young boy and a skilful GAA player who had represented his local club and Co Laois at minor and U21 levels.
