A GAA club in Offaly has led tributes after the untimely death of one of their players earlier this morning.
Clodiagh Gaels, based in the communities of Killeigh and Killurin, not far from Tullamore in Co Offaly, said they were "lost for words" after learning of the death of dual star Tiernan Grennan.
Tiernan had fought a brave battle with a short and sudden illness but his death was confirmed by his heartbroken family on Thursday morning.
