I just got some very sad news on the passing of the well known entrepreneur and bar owner Steve Duggan.
Steve was a legend in New York and was well respected as the co-owner of Paddy Reilly’s music bar in Manhattan and also for his promoting of Irish music and creation of opportunities for many Irish musicians and others who’ve come to New York.
Steve was originally from County Cavan and co-founded Paddy Reilly’s with the famous Paddy Reilly, the well-known folk singer who was also a member of the Dubliners who were known all over the world.
The Irish Examiner USA would like to send our condolences to the Duggan family as he will be sorely missed in the Irish Community, RIP.
