The wife of the assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland women's national team Colin Healy, has sadly passed away. Both the League of Ireland social media account and Healy's old side, Cork City, have both offered their sympathies and condolences to him and his family. 

"It was with immense sadness that all at Cork City FC learned of the passing of Kelly Healy, wife of our former player and manager, Colin, and mother of our player, Arran. Our deepest condolences go to Colin, Arran, Hollie and their wider family. As a mark of respect, there will be a minute's silence before tonight's game against Cobh Ramblers," said the Cork City X account.

While the League of Ireland X account added, "Everyone at the League of Ireland would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Kelly Healy, wife of former Cork City player and WNT staff member, Colin, and mother of Cork City player, Arran.

"Our sympathies go to the entire Healy family as well as everyone at Cork City." Cobh Ramblers have also offered their tribute, saying, "Condolences to Colin and the extended Healy family."
