Patrick was born in Loan [otherwise Loon], Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny.
Son of Michael & Bridget Bealin.
His father was a Farmer.
He had been employed as a Barman at O'Reilly's Public House on the corner of North King Street and Upper Church Street. The Pub is currently known as "The Tap".
He was murdered by British Soldiers of the South Staffordshire Regiment at North King Street, on Saturday 29th April 1916.
Many of The South Staffordshire Regiment had been injured and killed in the North King Street area during the Easter Rising, 19 of whom were killed.
The soldiers entered the Pub, taking prisoner all who were in the building, which included Mrs. Mary O'Rourke [the publican] and her three children, and Patrick Bealin whom she described as her foreman. When they took him away, she was told that they were taking him to the guardroom.
His body, and that of James Healy, was discovered in the cellar of the Public House, and exhumed on 10th May by staff of Dublin Corporation Sanitary Department. At the subsequent inquests, the jury found that they were unarmed and unoffending prisoners in custody, and that they died from shock and haemorrhage caused by bullet wounds inflicted by a soldier or soldiers. The Coroner requested the presence of the officer in charge, to explain the circumstances of their deaths, but he failed to appear.
