After searching for different Irish Brigade tombstones in Calvary, I went out for drinks with the 69th NYVI Color Guard. Standing with them is Patrick Kelly's successor as commander of the 88th.
 
A memorial was placed near his home in County Galway. There is a picture on the local tourist boards website.
