Yes, they do seem to not really fulfill their potential! I'd not really put that together before.
Isn't there mention about a cousin of Patrick's somewhere in one fo the books, off to Northern Ireland in the army? Maybe Ginty goes off to Ireland to work in the stables and then ends up meeting and The Cousin (or something stereotypical like that), nicely leaving Patrick unencumbered for Nicola.
